Default Bus stops

I am in a sort of urban spot, in that everything is either concrete or landscaped. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to MD in bus stop areas.

Default Give it a try

There is a school not far from my house I like to hunt at every now and then. They line the buses up on a side street and there is a grassy area between the sidewalk and the curb where they park the buses. I can tell you that I will get worn out digging in these areas, lots of clad coins. So I saying yeah, try the bus stops.

Try construction sites,places where they are digging up sidewalks, etc.
Permission may be needed.
Haven't tried yet myself, but getting ready to try a few here .

Also check bayous. research them as some are quite old were used in early days for travel by boats and even larger ships in big enough.

Although some may have moved from original locations, still gives a good place to start.

Hello Pris,
Bus stops are a good area to find coins I've done this before. Another area that people frequent is rest area's, if you do have one close to you and do decide go to one; Do this midday I have noticed weirdos will approach you in the moring and in the evening so avoid those times if you can.
