Hi everyone,
I went to a local park today to do some coin shooting, and found my first wheat, a 1942 D.
I was pretty happy about that (I am in my 2nd month of MDing). I found a total of 55 coins for $1.80. This was a 3 hour undertaking, where 45 of the coins were 1 cent coins.
My question is, what strategy do you take coinshooting? Do you did all coin signals (including the zinc Lincoln signals), which takes much longer, so in turn you cover a smaller area? Do you only dig the solid nickel, copper Lincoln, dime and quarter signals, thus skipping over all of the zinc Lincoln signals. This would allow you to cover a larger area and potentially find more money even though coin count goes down...
The reason for the question is because many members make posts that acknowledge large clad counts (dollar amount) in short amounts of times. I am just wondering how it is done.
