Nice PPC.... we got about 3 or 4 inches of snow yesterday.... so no parking lot finds for a while... well, I wasn't finding anything anyway.... snow plow mounds, when they melt, usually produce some finds.. Cheers, RickO
Hey, guys, been missing from here for a while now. Got a lot going on, so not much time to post these days. I have looked at the CoinStar machines in my neck of the woods, but they've been dry for quite some time. Only find of note was a pack of those large, paper lawn leaf bags. I figure they probably fell off a truck as they were near the sidewalk next to a cut through street in my neighborhood. I salvaged them from a coming rain and put one bag to good use last week Better than nothing, I suppose.
Amazing... I guess the people where you live do not care much about money.. well, at least change...I walked two parking lots yesterday... supermarket and community lot....nothing... I did find one Canadian nickel in the coinstar though... Cheers, RickO
It was 29 degrees and sunny but I wanted to get a little detecting in at the local football field. I set my timer for and hr and 15 minutes. When the sun left is was pretty cool. Found $1.74 in clad. The ground is dry. Most of the coins were in the 5-6 inch range. My screwdriver is a 6in one so I was pretty much at it's limits. Only one I couldn't locate. After my time was up I walked the parking lot and found 3 quarters, 3 dimes a nickel and 2 pennies plus 13 cans.
It's been on the cold side here. I've been walking with layers on and a mask. Lots of cans after New Years but no coins until Wed. Found my first penny. Today found 3 pennies and a WalMart gift card with $4.24 on it. Good as cash
It certainly is a cold snap... zero degrees here this morning (had a couple of mornings at two below)... at least that incredible wind has stopped...
I have never found a 'gift card'..... and, by the way...have found nothing this week at all. Cheers, RickO

@ricko Last Christmas, 2016, I did find a $100 gift card, AMEX as I remember it, in the gift envelope, stuck in some grass to the side of the mall parking lot.
Usually I find them with anywhere from small change balances to about $10 left on the card.
I usually average one a year, but this year was a bust. I found gift cards, but they were all zero's.
The Count for 2017 is 76 quarters, 100 dimes, 75 nickels and 407 pennies. 7 dollar bills, 1 5 dollar bill and 2 20 dollar bills for a grand total of $88.82.
i don't understand why everyone doesn't use a wallet. the majority of money I've found is when people pull out their car keys and the greenbacks fall on the parking lot pavement, that's what I think happens anyway, as the money is usually crumpled

@pocketpiececommems - $40 and then immediately almost another dollar? Nice! I'm clearly parking in the wrong lots.
Well....none of us seem to have an area that provides so much ROI as PPC... Cheers, RickO
Yesterday was 2 quarters and 43 cans and today 1 penny and 55 cans

Welcome back.... hope the 'lot going on' is a good thing..... And at least you found something.....
Cheers, RickO
Thanks @ricko , I can say that eventually the "lot going on" will turn out good. A tough journey to get there so far, though.
