Picking Old Bones & Plucking Out Silver

Day One Hundred-Thirty Five - Saturday, July 11

If you pick a spot too many times you're bound to find old bones in new spaces. That's just what happened at my sure-shot ghetto $4 minimum playground. I only found a buck and a half so I guess it's time to let the place recuperate until school is back in session and the milk money is flowing and falling freely into the chip bed. I did manage a silver ring out of the deal so I shant complain too loudly. Only got a couple hours in due to inclement weather but still managed my $5 expectation. Yeah, I've kind of updated my $2/$10 per weekday/weekend day minimums to a general expectation of $2-$5 whenever I get out. Blah blah blah. Anyhow, I found an inordinate amount of nickels today so something must have been up with the electricity in the sky or simply a case of detectives not digging for the tone.
