Mine was between $120 and $122

So lets here some other totals from around ILLINOIS.....

Mine will get spent on ( divided up ) at poker games in 2010.. Dirty money the guys call it....It still gets past around during the course of the year..... Or it gets spent on putting fuel in the treasure mobile.....( it's funny the response you get ) or just put back into circulation with comments being made....

What do you spend it on......?

I didn't count mine this year, but recall at least getting $ 25-35 a few times from the CoinStar throughout the year.
Funny thing is I've been finding dug coins in my change lately..

Way to go Wally! Gotta call you Wall Street Wally if you keep those returns coming. Still cleaning my clad, but it's not gonna top 150 bucks by much this year. Since much of my shiny stuff goes straight to the vendoteria at work, I didn't keep good counts. Maybe next year.

I picked up about $472.82
I'm surprised picking up this many coins I didn't find more silver. I have to think deep, and skip the surface coins. Although I do hate passing up money.

Thanks Bob!
I still can't believe I found a coin that old. I bought my Explorer in September. I don't think I had my settings right. The deepest coins I was digging were about 3 inches deep. I changed some settings and started finding some deeper old stuff. Before that I was just digging like a possessed mad man hoping to find something old. I guess that's how i ended up finding clad, clad, clad. Although extra quarters in your pocket do make this hobby more fun.

Well I haven't been keeping track of my clad totals like I did last year and I haven't been out clad hunting at all. The only clad I came across was while I was looking for deeper targets so I would say I found around $45 - $50 this year.

///////////////// My sugestion ----lern from Lowbat , ET007 , TW , //////// Setting is what area You are , and "" clearing"" process( what is it ask ) , You my find oldies in 10000 pass over by other detectorist . Any "" good"" setings will not help for You . Listen what experienced are saying , and propper analises them .

I ended up with $211.81. Total coins for the year including clad and the oldies (wheaties, silver etc) was 4004. I met all my goals this year. Over 200 silvers, 1000 wheaties and 4000 coins. Not a bad year I guess. SMAN...

Like Kermit, I haven't been keeping track of my clad totals as I did in the past, mostly because I didn't do much clad hunting. I would guess a few hundred at least since I did dig a ton of quarters while looking for the deeper older stuff (I can't pass those up). I've gotta say, though, that in weather like this, I could really go for a nice clad hunt right now!
