I Thought Some Of You All Had Been Fibbing...

I just COULD NOT get over the amount of clad some of you all have been pulling out of totlots.

I'm really really new to this, but I just couldn't get over the number of quarters that were being found and the relative lack of cents.

Every single hunt I had been on I had found more than twice as many cents as I had every other denomination combined.

Anyway, today instead of hitting one of the lots near my house I got in the truck and drove about a mile and a half away from my house to a totlot I had noticed on my way to work and WHAM... Every few feet I was finding something and I wasn't getting slammed with a bajillion cents and pulltabs.

It was at that point that I had a lightbulb moment... I actually thought these words to myself "Nohope hasn't been lying, I've just been hunting lots that had already been hit by someone else."

I had a little less than an hour to hunt. In that hour I was able to nearly double the clad count from my 6 previous hunts. It was also relatively trash free. I think I found 5 or 6 pull tabs and a weird piece of bent copper but that was about it. NO CANSLAW.

Here's another thing I'm excited about. As I said I only had about an hour to hunt. I was able to cover about half of the totlot I was on. There were two others at the same location that I didn't touch. AND there are a TON of other totlots in that neighborhood, which I'm HOPING are in similar shape.

Here's the pic and if you're interested I keep a running clad count on my site.
