    John,
    My ex brother in law had one and he would go to some of the swim areas at several lakes to find change. He theory was that change, gold chains and rings get lost or misplaced in these areas because of kids and young adults not paying attention. I can't remember how good he did. Playgrounds were another area he mentioned. Good luck tell us if you find something really nice.
