Day Thirty-Six - Thursday April 2
What's better than a 65 degree day in early April in the Northern climes? Well, an abandoned schoolyard with acres of roaming space to detect, that's what. Too bad it must have been scanned many times because it was an excrutiating few hours trying to locate coin there. The last 10 cents or so took nearly an hour and if not for the safety patrol badge I would have left before reaching my quota. But I didn't because I couldn't. Got to keep the coin rolling in my brothers and sisters. $354.38 to go! That means that I'm nearly 1/3 of the way to my go and it's not even spring yet. Even at $20 per week I would reach it sometime in August around my kewpie's second birthday. That would leave me with nearly 2 months of extra accumulation. I can go for that.

Day Thirty-Seven - Wednesday April 3
The old saw for Michigan weather has and always will be "Don't worry, it'll change." Sure enough...it changed. A 25 degree drop in temperature and a 25 mph increase in wind speed makes for a typical juxtaposition of one day to the next for this state. But, at least it's expected and nobody gets their hopes up here. Carry two sets of clothes and be prepared to get wet, frostbitten or sunburned. As far as the detecting goes: I went and scanned a school that I hit last weekend in my hit and run playground blitzkrieg. Not ironically, I found way more in the ground than in the wood chips. This is usually the case anyway. Which is why I prefer the former. I do like the wood chips though because they are a change up and it gives my ailing digging wrist a break. However, I don't much like doing both during the same session so it's either/or. Today it was or. Tomorrow it will be the easy road. $5 or bust!
PS...found my 500th dime of the season. Not too shabby!

Nice finds there recently. Funny I got one of those safety patrol badges as well this year. Am only at about 800 coins so far but hope to make use of the better weather this coming week.
Yeah, the weather goes back and forth here still. Next I'll be whining because it's too hot. Damn humans!
