1000 for the year

[perry2]

Hi All; I have reached my goal of 1000 coins for the year /// Here is a picture of it soon to head to the Bank // (they love to see me coming each year///.) Now I hope to consentrate on some better stuff//
The AT PRO has worked almost perfectly for this// I.m shure other machines would do it but I dought as easily// Good fun, lots of exercise and few problems// Perry
End count: Quarters 180 = 18%
Dimes 309 = 31%
Nickels 41 = 4%
Pennies 475 = 48%

Congrats on the coinage. How long did it take you, and how many places?

Congrats on meeting your goal.

That is neat that you kept it all. I usually write it down on then turn in or spend soon after......

 

[BigWaveDave]

I suppose that's all clad, right?....Tell us about your silver and wheats!

 

[seabud]

how do you clean your clad

 

[perry2]

I got only 2 silver coins all year An 1830 1/2 dime and an 1877 seated Quarter--

The clad I tumble for about an hour with a little dish soap and fish tank stone//

the only other good finds were a nice Gold ring and a fat silver ear ring. Perry

If you had to only get 2 silvers you sure picked a couple nice ones! Congrats on your 1000 coin goal!

well done sir !!

I picked up a smallish concrete mixer.I add the small aquarium gravel,water and a good dose of vinegar.I let it run 6-8 hours.I use my sifters as drying screens and can pull the screwed up ones out.always seem to find a silver I missed or war nickle.then I give my daughter 10% to roll it all up.
I avg $350.00 ish a year,sometimes more,sometimes less.

Congrats on the 1000! This is my first year monitoring what I found for the year. Store my finds in a coffee can. Sometime this winter will go through it and post my results.

Way to go on the 1000 coins..I think that is a cool goal.

 

[perry2]

I got etchey this afternoon so went out to a old parking lot not used now. took 19 coins off in an hour and lo and behold
a 1962 Silver Quarter// --boy you never know /// Perry

 

[rick67]

I think you should set the bar higher and shoot for 1250.

 

[Graciegirl]

congrats on making your goal. on average how often do you detect (5 days a week, 2 days)? are you part of a club or do you go out on your own? again, congratulations.

Congrats

Not in a club but would if one was available. Love to find a Retiree to hunt with// In good weather I try to go almost every day for 1-2 hrs. I like Lawns. Town commons, parks. Ball fields and parking lots. The big beaches are 2 hrs away-- the lake beaches are hammered//.I worked a large parking lot 3-4 weeks and took over 200 coins off it-- I use my Raobi batt. drill w/ a 5/8 spade drill and
bore down under and pry up the coin-- takes about 20 sec. in a lot that you cant scratch with a Leach tool//// Perry
