I generally don't sell anything I find. Did 30 years ago when the other half left, but not nowadays.

Most of my finds are on the patio tables making my wife mad, couple hundred in change and the valuable stuff in the house. I'm too lazy to clean my clad.

Never sold anything. Some went to students, other teachers over the years and everything left went to my university. Made a bunch of people happy...

Only hunted for 3 months in 2015 and this will be my 3rd month in 2016..........have accumulated a little over $160 in clad. I'm determined to acquire enough to make my detecting purchases pay for themselves and then save enough to purchase (if I don't find one ???) a 1909 VDB S and finish my Wheat collection.............

I spend it on cheap booze and expensive women. Or is that cheap women and expensive booze? Hard to remember...

Wait... you guys actually made money? D*&n! :BangHead: Until flip tabs and beer bottle caps become valuable, I'm deeply in the red - unless one considers that MDing is cheaper than a lot of other hobbies.

Since I am in the red several thousand dollars I haven't yet decided how to spend what I've lost in this hobby! Lol but it sure is fun learning machines and different types of hunting.
