Sac. Sidewalk Demo.

[King-John]

Got out yesterday & today, went to Sacramento to look for some old stuff, as I came off freeway @ Jst I noticed some street signs saying roadwork, as I was going down Jst I looked down 23rd and some caution tap caught my eye I looped around to find some sidewalks removed and signs say sidewalk Closed, being that I'm in construction and my business name on doors I ask one of the concrete foreman if he minded if I did a quick sweep of the ground "No Problem go ahead" , keep in mind these are very small areas removed, in 5-10 minutes, I had Three Wheaties, he then told me of a few other spots they removed, but I better hurry that they would be pouring the concrete back pretty quick after removal, 2nd spot turned up 1 Merc, and 1 Buffalo, hit a couple more today, 1 more Merc. and up against a driveway this very worn Standing Liberty Got some other stuff also, and 2 more Wheaties. Pics Below, Thanks for Looking.

Those small sections can be hard hunting if they have reinforcing mesh. Clad it paid off for you!

Nice finds I've heard about people that have detected sidewalks that have been torn out. I haven't come across any here yet, but I'll definitely keep my eyes open.
