Ya can't blame your self for her dumb luck, Some have finds right under their feet and some have to work hard for a promising good area. Mabe she would let you cut across her yard and you can go 50/50 or what ya find ya keep. By the way does she have a fence which shows your yard & her yard as a property boundry. You should check thru your own yard just for grinns, ya may find a 1/2 dollar or a whole Silver... now that would be cool! I'm in a house which is about 150 years old and I went thru it with my first MD, a Tesoro 1980's Goldensabre which is a good coin machine but I still have to go over it again with my new Whites Goldmaster GMT. I'm kinda like you, I havent go to it yet but once it quits drizziling rain as of today I will "Get-er-Done". Good luck buddy.
