Angry Well, I did it again

I missed out at another sidewalk replacement. Saw a cement truck today and saw an entire (consecutive block) of sidewalks getting ready to have cement poured in them. Drive past the thing every day on the way back from work and never even noticed. *&^$##

Go write your name REAL big in it overnight, then they'll have to break it up to re-pour.

Sorry to hear that, sidewalk replacements are my new favorite place to hunt.

Drove over at 17:00 to take a look and they didn't have all the concrete poured so I had some areas to detect. "Oldest" coin was a 1974 quarter, left some ZLincolns to be covered in concrete LOL. Ended up with 1 quarter, 2 nickels and 5 cents. I also found some flashlight body, trying to see if is identifiable. They had the frames in - metal frames to boot. Didn't make it any easier!

I hate it when that happens! Been there done that. At least since you got to hit part of it, it may soften that "I wonder what I missed feeling".

That explains all the sidewalks I saw being jackhammered in California!

How about putting Guido's name on it, then they'll tear out that section and keep ripping out sections until they find the body .
