One Billion dollars.....

[rataft]

Hi All,
I read some where that world wide people lose 1 billion dollars a year.... Seeing what I have metal detecting I can beleive that. My question is How much of that billion is being found? My best year ever was just over the $450.00 mark (clad only) , do you think that there are that many detectorists? I was wondering if we add all are totals together how much have we found in one year ?

I probably recover about $250 in clad a year.

Let the math do the Talking . 1,000,000.00 dollars X 1000 + 1 ,000,000,000.00 So now you take 12 million detectorists world wide and divide that into 1 billion per year and we get an average of each one finding 8 ,333,333.00 which means that we should all be finding
8 miillion plus a year. HMMMM where do you think my 8 mill is hiding ? OFF TO THE HUNT WE GO

I picked up $324.99 last year in coins and currency -- and that was the non-detector finds, just walking around town. It came to: paper money $67 (two tens, three fives, 32 ones); coins, excluding wheaties and silver, (407 quarters, 773 dimes, 428 nickels, 5,754 pennies). I hope that adds up correctly. My little share of the one billion lost annually.
