You're getting quite a collection of money. Do you keep a total value of the coins you find? Most here in the U S do not know the value of the Euros. Can you give us a total and a conversion rate. I believe you are finding quite a sum of extra money. Later

Free's right - you're racking up. I think in some countries you can do so much better finding newer coins than here in the US because the denominations are larger. You've got 25 coins there worth $14.40. If you found 25 newer coins here you might have 2 or 3 dollars. Typically here the largest newer coin you will find is a quarter (25 cents) so it takes a while to add up. Every time our government wisely introduces a new $1 coin everybody whines because it's something different and they just wind up in collections. I thought the Sacajawea dollars were great but I got one from Wal Mart when they came out by asking for one and some in change from the stamp machine at the post office. That's it. We're such creatures of habit.

OK, I'm through griping now.

No, I NEVER keep that money, I spent I when I need it. Nowadays I always have lots of change in my pockets. I never took the time to count what I have found, in total.

The 1 and 2-Euro coins get very very dirty in the sand. In the beginning (5 months ago ; started metal detecting end of August 2005) I cleaned the coins. Not anymore, now. I see that people accept them "like they are" so why bother ? When they bring the coins to a bank, I think the bank is holding the coins in as "no more valid" or so, and they are replaced by new ones. The 50-20-10 cents are better, since they are made in copper.

How much is an Euro ? Well, we don't understand it ourselfs, since we had them only like 4-5 years. So, if somebody buys a car or a house, we have to make a calculation to understand the value of it. Getting a new currency is very complicated, one doesn't understand the value of it. It's like playing with monopoly money !
How much is an Euro ? At a certain moment, it was about 1 Euro = 1 USD, but now you get about 6 Dollars for 5 Euros...

For detecting, the 2 Euro is a great coin = it is 2.40 USD dollars. So, if you find a few of those, you have a good day ! What is your biggest coin, then ?

It may be a N2O cartridge also. They come int he same shape and size as co2. Nitrous oxide is used to dispense whipped cream. I have a dispenser at the house. You make the whipped cream, or chocolate mouse, or whatever, put it in, charge it with n2o and you have the same as buying a can of whipped cream at the store.

The only gold I found so far was in August or September, 4 months ago. Started detecting end of August 2004. It was a (rather large) wedding ring. The couple got married in '67. Forgot the names. Sold it. It was 6 gram and I got 32 Euros for it. If I remember well, that is. All the other rings I found were not too valuable, just small silver ones. Gave the nicest away (if they fitted).

I also found another wedding ring in a "white metal". The couple only married in 2004. When I asked to a few people what that metal was, is was worthless : Titanium. The ring must be somewhere in my "treasure box" with the rest of my "valuables", lol.

Our biggest is $1.00 but they are rarely used so the biggest common coin to find is only 25 cents (1/4 dollar).
