Man am I tired. I went back to the chips that I only had 35 minutes to hunt yesterday and cleaned up. I was there alittle more than four hours this morning.Here's my totals.
57 quarters
118 dimes
75 nickels
72 mems
4 more of those flattened pennies,two pieces of junk jewelry,a broken junk chain and a weird beat up foreign coin of some sorts.Here's what it looked like coming out of the pouch,and after counting it. $30.52 total. This is not including yesterdays haul.These kids drop alot money.
Good Luck,Mike in NJ

Actually all my clad is being saved up to get the Mr Bill's mod to my White's Classic II. I'm more than halfway there.

Wood chip question. Okay, now I know the pea gravel tot lots are easy to hunt with a beach scoop, but is there a secret to do wood chips ? I tried it once and it was a pain in the arse trying to pick through the pieces and quit looking.

I (hard) fan the chips with a screw driver instead of really digging.......seems to work well.
