It's about all this clad that I'm finding.

Yeah, another clad day. So, what's to feel "guilty" about, right?
I feel I shouldn't do ANYthing that even resembles complaining.
There are so many hunters out there who would gladly change places
with me, I know this. Also, if I'm sick of the clad I'm finding, I could always
just send it to them! ;)

I'm not given to be too concerned over causing some sort of TH-ing gods to get
P.O.-ed over my DARING to complain about all this I'm finding! Still, I do know
all too well that I could be just digging up ONLY pulltabs.

Still.....I find myself getting very, very weary of the aspect that EVERY single decent
hit is turning up clad. You know, when you're out there and you get a quarter, dime, penny
hit, You start hoping that it could at least turn out to be a silver or at least a wheatie?!?!?
But, no.....clad quarter, clad dime, zincoln, even the nickles turn out to be new. :(

It's fun, to be finding money AND I KNOW!!! The clad adds up! I have paid for my ATP with
clad finds, alone! A couple times over!! LOL

This year I have even forced myself to fight with farm fields more than ever before! Why? That
once in a while *OLD* coin!!! I find that if I turn up just one old coin out there, my day is made!
I'm happier, I rest better, etc. But, these clad hunts are wearing me down! :(

What say you fellow hunters? Am I even slightly justified? Or am I just a plain spoiled brat and should
just shut up and leave well enough alone? :dontknow:

Here's the rest of the pics:

2017 (297).jpg

This stupid piece of brass/bronze/whatever is here cuz
it added to my frustration today. This stupid thing
was over 14 inches deep!!! In some very hard packed,
tightly rooted grass! I must've spent 25 minutes on
this one alone! All THAT, for THIS!?!?! ???

2017 (298).jpg

A couple tokens to at least break up my day. :dontknow:

2017 (299).jpg
2017 (300).jpg

It was these wonderful, four lil wheaties that
started me thinking about all this. That warm
feeling came over me as each one appeared.
It's why I do this! The old coins! :dontknow:

At least the "kids" seem happy.
I wonder if those flattened pennies are collectible?
I'm sure getting a lot of them stacked up! :)

Sorry for the venting.
Glad you guys are here to share with, sorry it's just clad :dontknow:

Yep, very true. Looks like my backroom did up until I went into a forced retirement. Ya know what is surprising?
Just how quickly ALL of that can go away! About 50 times faster than it took to get.:BangHead:

Granted, it would have been MUCH worse, if it hadn't been there to go away. ;)
