My Free Treasure Hunting Tip For All

[BigWaveDave]

I’m gonna turn you on to an old trick that I’ve employed for years… when wifey wants to go to Walmart, gladly take her, let her do her thing.
She knows I’m gonna check the Coinstar first, and then..
I walk around aimlessly around the massive melting piles of snow that have been plowed at the ends and corners of the parking lot. No telling what you might find! Imagine rings falling off cold hands, random jewelry, coins, all sorts of random stuff that gets swiped up and discarded.
Today’s haul was below average, but I’m 60 cents richer…. Ha!

A good way to spend the waiting time !

Hard to turn off the hunting bug, isn't it? I know from personal experience.

Great now everyone knows, next you'll tell them about where the mechanical street brooms dump their ash and how to refine the platinum in it. 😉

Now if only had kept wifey's spending to below 59 cents, you would really be living the dream...

Making it fun to wait, good one!

I know, I've been doing that for years, no detector? go eyeballing. Very hard habit to break. Then again, why would we?

Back in the 80's, either Western & Eastern Treasures or Treasure Found! magazine did an article titled "Try Snow Time Detecting". It was about taking your detector and hand sand scoop to mall parking lots and detecting the snow piles.
After reading that article, I wanted to try it at the local mall (Chautauqua Mall in Lakewood, NY). When I mentioned it to my grandfather, his response was to wait until spring after the snow melts and just pick the stuff up off the bare ground. I never did try it.

Trick is to get there before the street sweepers clean up the lots

Don’t forget to check the lot edges. Wind blows paper to the edges. Chain link fences along lots get their share of wind blown cash.
