Went out to the flea-market spot this morning. Only had a couple of hours so didn't get to cover the entire lot. Came up with $3.17 in clad and a pocketknife. Not as much as I expected, but I will go back tomorrow and hit the rest of the lot...then later in the week hit it from another direction! It ain't NEVER hunted out.

Sherm,
That's why I had to quit. I can't be out in heat over 90 and it hit that at about 9:15 this AM. Our entire area is under a severe weather alert for heat.
Diggin,
I've bought several old coins with the clad I've found in the last year and a half. My only really good coins are counterfeits that were found in a cave! I love those beasts even though I know they aren't real...but they were real finds for me!If I ever get a camera and get it figured out, those will be my first pics.

I know of a big flea market site and I've never even bothered to hunt it. I've always assumed others were hunting it. Maybe I'd better check it out the next time I drive that way.

I can't hunt the only local flea market.
"Hey, what are you doing with that shovel?"
"Stop chipping the floor!"
"Get out of our building!"
