Hello all!

I had not been out since monday night and had a rough day so I headed out to a town park... I spent about 90 minutes digging targets... I nabbed 3 wheats and all modern clad :-( I decided to change locations to another park closer to town and loaded up my E-Trac left the park and turned right... and... orange cones and missing sidewalk... and it waskn't all roped off... hmmm... I pull over... 3 blocks missing on one side and 1 block missing on the other side...

What the heck... lets doeeeet... :-)

Next target was a wheat penny on the surface! I got another 4 wheat pennies, some copper line parts...

I crossed the road to the one block part on the other side... 12/47 @ 1

There were 8 wheat pennies total... This was the first time I hunted a spot where they were replacing sidewalks :-) Fun... easy and a fast 2 silver coins for the 20-30 minutes I was there... :-)

I'll have to keep an eye out for sidewalk tear outs in my town. You had great success with yours. Nice pics again, great detail!!
 
Woo hoo! thumbsup01 I think I'd hate rushing cars past me, but want to hunt medians and sidewalks. Was the street busy next to you?
 
Nice score thumbsup01 I did a side walk recently that they removed about 4 inches and I got squat lol Glad some silver turned up for you. Keep an eye out to see if they remove any more.
