We could have an Apex & 'Ripper' shoot-out! A cooler start-of-the-day and I only had about an hour to hunt some of my yard. The number of Bottle Caps might challenge your lead sinker count, but the frequent clad coins that will eventually go back into circulation would keep you busy.

I was checking real estate prices around Oregon this past few days and noticed how sky-high they are. But also noticed how much growth there seems to be in the smaller, out-of-the-way towns as people are moving out of the big city, Portland, and into the more rural areas. I think I'd take a weekend drive around the smaller places, such as Gaston, Yamhill (where I got my $2½ gold coin), Carlton, Lafayette and others. There could be some good renovation work of torn-up sidewalks or streets, older neighborhood demolitions to make room for new construction, etc. I found a lot of older coins hunting all of those smaller-size tows where I lived or just visited on my detecting jaunts. Even refurbishing work in some of the older city parks can be rewarding.
