Today I was driving around running some errands when I spotted an old boarded up house. I figured I should check it out, even though the yard looked like crap. The ground in front was carpeted with garbage, so I focused on what looked like an old gravel driveway that led around back. I found some clad and 5,217 pull tabs (that's an estimate). I saw up farther in this big lot what looked like where a building might have been removed, so I walked over to check it out. As I got closer I could tell some building had been there, but what caught my eye was a single laundry pole right nearby, near a huge old maple tree. The place was a nightmare to hunt, what with tons of trash both buried and on the surface, ivy vines all over catching on my detector, plus stumpy blackberry vines that would stop you in mid swing. It was a mess. But I was still finding clad, so I kept at it. Then I found a 1942 canadian cent, and began a technique that I just heard described here recently on a different thread called 'circling'. I realize now that I had been practicing 'circling' for years, only I have always called it a different name--"wandering around in the general area where you found something". This highly scientific method produced a couple of wheats (44-S, 58-D), and a small silver religious thingy. Now I realize I was just complaining about a silver slump, but I guess I should have been more specific. I want silver coins! But I guess this counts?
