What day is today?? Wed. So what to do when you don't think you can detect your favorite park? Find out the real rules.

First to the Parks and Recreation building. Lady there says no supervisor around till after 1pm. Next to the Roosevelt City Office. Yes there is a city ordinance prohibiting detecting. BUT she doesn't know where to find it. So next to the police department. Chief comes out to talk. Great guy. Yes there is an ordinance against it, however, if I talk to the supervisor over the parks department and he gives the ok they do not enforce it. GREAT. After 1pm I go back to the Parks and Recreation building and meet the person in charge. I give him my business card and tell him what I do and how I do it. Also told him about the sign. He laughed and said go right ahead. He had absolutely no problem with me using a screwdriver and I can go anytime I want to play.

So back at the sledding hill. More fun. 74 quarters, 16 dimes, a nickel and 5 pennies. Very tiring for me playing on this hill for too long. This was a bit over 3 hours of swinging my E-Trac. A bit overkill for clad but it works.

So now I can play there any day of the week including Wed!







I have absolutely no idea how many quarters I have now out of this park. I would have 52 more if I didn't let my son in law borrow a machine. This hill is just full of clad.

Thats how its done, thats alot of quarters!!!!! Are you going to leave a detector with the son in Law a create another treasure hunter?
 
Good job. Don't leave your can slaw and pulltabs there - be a man and throw it in the can.

I already created a water monster out of him. Got him a Fisher CZ-21. Actually I gave my daughter a White's Spectrum I drowned a few years ago. She never got it repaired. I don't know if they still repair them but when I called Whites, they told me 125.00 flat rate. No idea what the status is anymore. I will let them figure it out. I also got my grandson an Ace 350 and a pro pointer.
 
See you back in Michigan soon cleaning up on all those rings and silver. Good to hear from you Bob!!!!
 
Congrats on a killer Wed! :occasion14:
Nice pile of coins. That is an odd rule, no detecting on Wed. Still trying to think of why???
Wed = MD rest day? :dontknow:

That's quite a haul ! I'm just surprised that you haven't snagged a silver ring or two among all those dime/ quarter hits .
 
Congrats on your finds and good you got the sign thing cleared up
 
Roosevelt is a cool place. My bro-in-law was a vice principal there then move to Vernal.

CRAP!!

I saw the sign and was going to tell you that the "O" was missing (thinking I was going to be the smart guy), but apparently somebody out smarted me!! LOL........

Now it doesn't matter what the sign says, you have fulltime permission so have at it!

The coinage count is awesome. I know we all want the silver and gold, but coins pay those battery and coffee bills.
 
The battery inventory for 2017 has been paid for!! Lol
Good that you got the sign figured out.
(NO METAL DETECTING ALLOWED)
I'm really glad you did the footwork to make that sign null and void.
Congrats on a good hunt.
 
Nice job cleaning up all those quarters.
 
Nice job on being all O wed to hunt it on all days now.:laughing7:

LOL, that is pretty funny. Why would someone do that? Purpose? Mistake? Booze & Drugs when making the signs?
I have seen School and Stop signs painted on the street with typo's... anything is possible I guess.
At least you got the OK for 7 days a week. Good story!
