    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    The Pinball Wizard arcade which I believe is closed now.

    Yes she closed it down and good riddance. She totally tried to screw me hard on a deal.

    Quoted from Mopar:

    Thanks. Between 1988 and 1992, if the weather permit, I went out coin hunting much of
    my spare time. I took that pic a while back for the "Other Hobbies thread". That's the better
    of the coins I found in one of the Summers. For each year, I kept the better coins apart from
    the Wheaties, Memorial, clad coins, ect. Once I bought my property, all time went into it. I'm
    going to start getting back into the detecting a little bit. Maybe this week I'll get some pics
    of some of the interesting coins I've dug up (most coins are usually between 3"-6"), can hear
    them to about 10" deep..
    Over the years, I built a vintage park down back, but beginning to run out of space and projects,
    so I'm sure I'll be getting back into metal detecting once again.
    When I was younger, when seeing people detecting, I remember saying, "look at those idiots out there",
    but later I realized that it's actually a great hobby..

    Metal detector hobbyists come by the dozens here because of the all the big beaches and shoreline.

    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    Okay here’s a picture of my “interesting tokens” collection. The arcade I run is a token arcade so I usually just scoop any of the ones that catch my eye. There have been a lot of weird ones. I’m also surprised at how far they travel.
    The Jillian’s one has been a pain in my ass. There were probably a dozen of so unleashed on my arcade, and they’re made of some cheap shit, they’re extremely light, like aluminum, so they were jamming my mechs left and right!
    They’re so light they would just get stuck in the little scale, wouldn’t reject. In those little token flipper games, they’re also slightly larger than my tokens so they’d get 3/4 into the chute and jam the “catapult”.
    I’ve taken that thing apart at least 6 times. I’m fairly certain I’ve got them all now.[quoted image]

    High hopes that they are the right size and weight...?
