Default I had some time to kill.

Yesterday after work I had a half-hour to kill. I stopped at the local high school track to try out my new Ace 250. I searched an area no bigger than 10' x 50' and I found 6 quarters, 11 dimes, 1 nickel and 12 pennies. I was like a kid at a candy store.

Very good for a half hour. They say the 250 is a coin magnet. Keep it up, and you will have that thing payed for before long.
