Re: NEW CONTEST! 3 prizes - gold/diamond ring first prize

Here's my 2007 totals to date so far for reference.

89 hours hunt time
3129 coins found
$236.78 value

I have had 14 - 100 plus coin days including two 200 plus days.
One day high = 243
One day low = 43

Like I said in the first post, I plan to be out there for 6 hours each day covering the woodchips only and then moving on the a different school. I should get 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 hours hunt time in each day.

You can doo the math ;D ;D ;D

Smiles!
BDoo

BDoo doesn't list his detector type, so I don't know if he has multiple detectors or not, but your idea of a driver Sherm got me thinking perhaps he should have a caddy with him. Think about it, a big 30 gallon trash barrel, with wheels of course, full of various makes and models of detectors. Then when they arrive at a location the caddy could suggest the detector to be used "BDoo, I recommend the DFX in the woods chips" or "Looks like we have a thick grassy field with 8-12 inches of rich dark loam below, you'd better go with the Tesoro BDoo". Plus the caddy can discard all the excavated refuse into the roaming barrel. It would be quite a site and could put our hobby in the same league and status that golfers enjoy. Actually there are some similarities, MD'ers and Golfers both play on grass, we both sometimes get stuck in the rough, they get down on their knees to study the slope of the green, we get down on our knees to pull out the green, they create divots, we create core holes. See not so different. The Caddy could keep him well hydrated and double as the chauffeur too. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Re: NEW CONTEST! 3 prizes - gold/diamond ring first prize

LOL@ Johnny,what a very imaginative idea. The sides of it could have different zipper compartments for clad,junk jewlery and keepers,in addition I think a holster for a pinpointer would be nice. Well Im not really much of a gambler Bdoo but Im going to take a chance here and guess in at 237 coins with one gold and one silver ring as well as a 14kt charm and a lot of junk jewlery and pulltabs,HH...Shoot

Really entertaining and original reply JCH! That's a really cool graphic, love the tapper on the side. Thanks a lot for the cool reply, good luck on your guess!

My calculation(guess) - 393 with a grand total of $25.12. It's simple - just take your last two hunts and find a rate for both coins and totals. Then multiple the rate by estimated time you will hunt times two. ;D

You aren't going to be skipping over foil and rings just to get the clad are you? ;)

Re: NEW CONTEST! 3 prizes - gold/diamond ring first prize- 3 days left to guess

Hey BDOO, great contest!


The answer is probably going to be 212, but I see that that is already taken, so is 213.


MY FINAL GUESS IS 214 COINS.


PS: Is that first ring real gold?

Re: NEW CONTEST! 3 prizes - gold/diamond ring first prize- 3 days left to guess

WOW! This is so very nice of you!!!! Kudos to you!

All the prizes look wonderful...but I'm not a jewelry person...so if I were to win a ring, I'd probably hold on to it until my first granddaughter was born (watch...I'll have all grandsons!!!!!!!!!)

So, I am really going to take a wild guess, as I have not read your other posts (that I can recall) and only reading what others have guessed....hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....no one picked 150...so my guess is 150!!!

Do hope you find lots more though!

Good luck, Happy Hunting and let the coins roll in!!!!!!!
