Sidewalks can be very good as well as street tear-outs. Nice Barber

That's what I thought too. I spotted a sidewalk tear up just before
winter last year and went out. Either someone got to it before me,
or I just plain got skunked. In a four block stretch, I got a whopping
45 cents and all clad! Ce'st la vie

Nice dime!

My first Seated Liberty Dime, an 1839o came from the same type location. An old sidewalk in Augusta, GA in front of the Bell Auditorium. I had my detector in the trunk when I drove by and saw about 10 feet of sidewalk being replaced. Remember that these areas were old walking paths before the sidewalks were poured.
