199 Coins today

It was about 25 degrees when I left the house, but after about three hours it warmed up enough that my toes were not freezing anymore so I made a day out of it. To bad I didn't stop and dig one more penny. Clad was 32 quarters, 43 dimes, 29 nickels, and 93 pennies. Pulled one silver Rosie and a wheat cent. All the jewelry was bling. Couple of coin spills.



This was last Sunday's hunt in a pasture, hunted a old home site. Actually looking for a old one room schoolhouse but the owner mentioned that this was here so when I was striking out on the schoolhouse I tried it. One Merc and a few wheats. Couple of Tootsie cars. The Jaguar was neat, I remember having that same car when I was a kid.

If that's all the trash you got from all that digging, that's one hell of a great trash to coin ratio. We are a weird bunch aren't we? To get so excited over recovering 15+ - dollars...

Naw, there was more trash then that. But the pile of coins was about 2/3 of the size of the pile of trash. And I wasn't even avoiding digging trash, running all metal and notching out everything under 40. Just one of those days.

I am curious though, just how many hours are in a "day's hunt", like this?

That was a productive hunt. With that many holes dug, tomorrow you will feel like you fought with an angry bear.

That was probably close to 9 hours.

And I thought I was doing good in the front yard yesterday before dark with a penny, a quarter, three dimes and a nickel (all recents). Of course, it was "I need you to put up the wreaths." "You need to put the boxes inside." and on and on and on...

Wow! You must be a VERY efficient, walker, pinpointer, digger, retriever AND replacing divots! I am impressed!

That's better than 3 minutes a hole! Much better than I could ever do!

A lot of probing. Was doing as little digging as possible. A number of surface finds, multiple coin spills and as many as 9 coins in a single spill.

Still! I am impressed! I only wish I could still dig like that, even probing takes a bit. I know I've done that too.

Excellent day!
