Thanks everyone for all the support, e-mails, letters, and everything else. Today had a long hunt 167 coins with 6 wheaties. Here are the pics! Also a pic of 10,000th coin.

That is a great picture. Congratulations. You should be proud that is a lot of digging. I think you've shown us all up. I know you've shown me up for sure. Good Job

Way to go brother. You made it. That is one big pile of coins. Now you can get the ice packs out, ice down, and get ready for next year. We expect at least 15,000 next year

I can't even imagine finding that many coins. . . those would surpass the level of my junk bucket of tabs

Nice!

Wow, Wow,Wow, Oh my aching Back, Congratulations. What a haul. Hope your bank has a coin counter, LOL. Also hope you going to clean all those clad coins before taking them back to the bank. Don't want to put a black eye on guys who detect by taking back dirty coins.

Again, Congratulations.

Congrats Gregg...great pic on the 10,000th...IMO that should make the banner...

Simply Amazing, Gregg! It's a wonder that table hasn't collapsed under the weight! Nice to know you could just about pay for a new machine with all that CASH $$$. From henceforth, if anyone on this site complains about having to do "so much digging" I'm going to cut and paste a link to this post Impressive, Gregg...now where to from here?

P.S.--Because of the IMMENSE number of coins you recovered this year, I do agree that the photo of the 10,000th coin should go on the banner.

Banner is a great idea imo.

Wrecked knees? Arm joints destroyed? Was it worth it? I BET IT WAS! CONGRATS on reaching your goal. I wonder if I have even dug 10,000 coins in all my years swinging a coil? Hope your having a cold one tonight!

 

[ModernMiner]

WOW Gregg!!!
You don't realize how many coins 10,000 really is until you see them piled up like that. Amazing!!! Congrats on reaching your goal.
Banner for sure.
Some beautiful jewelry too.
Awesome year,
MM

You are the man Gregg! Tnet should give you some kind of award. Now tell me what percentage of the 10k were found with the 5.3 coil vs. the standard coil? Great job!

No I am going to clean them! I wanted them to be the way I dug them when I hit the goal...if they were all shiny....would not have been a very interesting pic...thanks!

Honestly most were found with 2 different 5.3 coils...first one either wore out or just broke! I got to a point I was a little sore after a few days hunting each week and it just seemed easier with the 5.3... So I would say 70-80% were with 5.3...

Today was a park....pulled around 40 from tot lot...around 100 got the 3wheatie coin spill...all the motivation I needed...was able to add 3 more wheaties after that...There were a ton of pennies today.

Thanks for the great responses...it has been a fun year... I have a few hunts left before it gets nasty here...but will not be hunting as much...and I am glad I was able to finally remove my coin counter...

Congratulations on passing your 10,000 goal. I knew you'd do it from the photos you've posted. Thanks for sharing those very nice photos of your total finds so far. Man, that's a whole lot of digging there!
