Lincoln is my friend.

Went to a fairly well searched local school today. it was close and we wanted to get out before the morning warmed up too much. No such luck it was 83° at 7am.. 88° when we were done.
Gave the jungle gym a quick skim for a grand total of 14 cents. Never do find much there. we then moved the the Kiddie pick up area and the paths along the sides of the building.
Still plenty of stuff to be found even in well visited areas.
You do get a little sick of hearing that cent chime after a while though. Did find a nice silver bracelet though. That more than makes up for the over abundance of Lincolns.

Wow N H, you sure find the coinage. My yearly average finds of common change is only around $42. Keep it up and I'll let you buy me a set of batteries.

$5 a day is our average for a short hunt. If we spend several hours and hit multiple locations we can easily make $20
