Earlier,this morning, one guy was digging in the boulevard across the street with a mini backhoe .
I figured it was because they found a leak in their sewer line when they did a smoke test a couple weeks back.
(they are putting in 4" and 2" poly gas lines in my neighborhood) (scary)
Anyway I said to myself, "that poor guy is going to need to dig a bigger hole" because I learned that the water and utilities are over 20 feet down on my street because my street is built up over an old trolley line.
This is a private company doing this sewer repair, not going to be cheap :(.
Anyway, I looked out later and there were more guys, they were jack hammering away more of the curb and street, "that's what I thought" I said to myself smugly"
Well I left for a while and came back and now they have the whole street blocked off on both sides of the block and a bigger backhoe and a mountain of dirt...
AND THEY ARE PACKING UP AND GOING HOME FOR THE NIGHT!!!
You know what that means my beautiful steemerinos, your boy is going out there with his metal detector when they are gone and most definitely going to find some coins in that pile unless the cops hassle me, which they very well may.
Maybe there will be trolley tokens, maybe silver coins, maybe even a gold coin or jewelry or something, that dirt was street level at one point a long time ago.
Wish me luck!

They're still sitting in their trucks, but I put on my construction worker disguise, I have some worn out cartheart cargo pants, my old cartheart work boots, a dirty sweatshirt I use for dirty jobs around the house, a yellow vest (shout out to the yellow vest movement), some work gloves, my trusty yellow handled spade shovel,A cap with a headlamp on it, hopefully no one will trip and I can look around a while bvefore it gets too dark!

That was pretty much a bust, all the first 10 feet of soil were on the bottom of the pile and all I could really get at without digging was pure clay, they had a pit dug over 20 feet deep and I could see the old broken clay sewer conduit and a new pvc one they had replaced it with,
I couldnt get to any good dirt without digging and it started to rain so it was getting to where I was starting to make a mess so I gave up empty handed. Oh well, they still have to rip up the sidewalks when the gas line guys get to my block so I should have lots more chances to detect soon, and closer to the surface, plus there will be time between when the big hole is backfilled and when the street and sidewalk guys come so the good dirt will end up on top again and I'll get a crack at it.
One super weird thing is that before any of this digging happened, last night, I had a dream about this, the memory got triggered when I looked into the hole and saw the utilities. Anyway thanks for reading this random ass post whoever sees this.

Awe man! Sorry it was a bust. Your idea to metal detect sounded brilliant!
