Dumb mistake closed public pool property

[danloop]

For 2 years before the closed city pool was scheduled to be bulldozed, I would go around the perimeter of the chain link fence, getting as close as I could. Every summer I got about a dollar or two from the freeze heave. I knew the pool employees hosed down the deck before leaving for the day, But I never thought about digging under the fence next to the deck. I should have dug there and used my pinpointer to hand sift the dirt, away from the fence. The pool opened in 1964 so there was probably a decade's worth of silver in circulation. Come to think of it, a post hole digger would have also been a wise choice.

I detected under a lot of bleachers at parks with any kind of ball fields.

I was thinking about trying that. Do you get much interference from the bleacher iron?

I use a pinpointer under bleachers.

I use a pinpointer under bleachers.

I'm intrigued. Doesn't it still go off within a foot or so of the frame, or do you just not bother near the iron?

I've ventured under grandstands, and I headed out of there realizing folks deposited way too caps and pull rings for my patience.
Drive-in theaters were a close second.
I'm sure there's lots of good things though.

I have found gold rings and couple gold charms/pendants.

I have gotten pretty close to the iron structures.
