Nice ring . how long on average in hours does it take you to find 100 coins

Nice ring . how long on average in hours does it take you to find 100 coins

It seems to vary...>>>>
woodchip sometimes 30-40 coins an hour lately...used to be and still is in some not possible for me to get 100 in woodchip even after leaving woodchip and going in grass.

In grass I can always get 100 if I stay long enough...

On average only 20 coins an hour...on a good day 25-30 coins an hour, but coin spills can always change that... Had some very nice coin spills this year...none over 3 coins today. But have had one of 50 and another 33 this year...and tons smaller....so that really changes the averages. My average hunt is approximately 61 coins a hunt 3 hours...taking all of them this year. I usually pick my spots when I go for my weekly day of 100...this week I have 2 100 coin days already...I am trying to get to 10,000 within 60 more hunts now.

Today in dirt it took 3 hours and 30 minutes for the 99...and 2 minutes at home to add number 100. So today approximately 28 coins an hour.
On average I would say 20-25 coins an hour...remember I dig...well better yet here are my averages...you can see i dig a lot of pennies...sure helps the coin totals.

Pennies > 56 %
Nickels > 7 %
Dimes > 23 %
Quarters> 13% some decimal point differences make up the final 1 % because of dollar coins.

Thanks for asking...I like playing with the numbers.

Hello Gregg!
I must say, "You are one consistent dude!" I'm lucky to recover 50 coins with all the junk I've been digging! I hate ignoring any sound close to nickel-gold and consequently waste a lot of energy digging pull tabs. But, I am getting better or worse, depending on one's prospective!

I absolutely adore that ring!

Thanks everyone...I need to average 275 coins a week to cut my hunts down. So its either an extra hunt a week for me...or 2 100 coin days a week. So I would rather hunt one less day because earlier this month I hunted 7 out of first 8 days and the heat was a little to much,,,ended up taking 4 days off...

We have had some heavy rain 3 times in last week and a nice drop in temps...so now is a good time...

Thanks for the responses everyone!

Thanks everyone...the pennies always help my totals a lot. We have been lucky with rain the last week and a half and a great break in the heat...right now the ground is very good for digging. Also I use my home made swingy thingy which I give a lot of credit. The coil is always very close to the ground or brushing it. Not a lot of wasted swings with coil to high from ground. I notice with dfx very consistent up to 6-7 inches...so swinging just 2-3 inches to high will miss a ton of coins...
