208 coin day.

[kane23]

Hi,
I went south again yesterday,started off well at an elementary school,within 2 hours I had over 100 coins. I moved on to other sites that were not so good, the other 108 coins I found took me another 5 hours, still it was a 200 plus coin day. totals for the day;
Cents; 75(one wheat a 1957)
nickels; 6
dimes; 66
Quarters; 59
foriegn coins; 2, a canadian cent and a 1954 australian half penny.
Rings; 1, It was a mans walmart special,lots of glitter and bling but no real value.
3 trips south( december 29th,Jan 1st and Jan,11th) a total of 535 coins. good hunting to the rest of you, Kane 23

Man, that's a lot of diggin'. My knees hurt just thinking about it.

59 quarters, that is a very good ratio of quarters to coins.

Congrats....

Brian,
I don't like to waste a lot of time digging up zinc pennies ,miss most nickels that way also.. If i'm looking for gold rings it's a different story. HH kane 23

That is a bunch of digging! Waiting for warmer weather in my parts but it's only supposed to get colder

Congrats on lots of coins!

Trying to think of a way to seed my yard with clad coins where I need my sprinkling system installed this summer.
Seriously Kane, you are a human excavator!
And well on your way to 10,000 plus.
Nice work!

great jon my friend... most I ever hit was 156 in one day...... all pennies....... belive it or not..... old church playground... but I did find 2 tens rolled up at the start of the hunt.. so it was all good...... but after my 156 I was dropping..... now week ago this past sat I hit 102 in 2 hrs...... ran outta daylight.. but sat I hit 42 in about an hour.. I coulda went for well over 156 where I was .. but on my way back to car to get warm I noticed I had a bad tire... cords showing.... so I quit hunting to go get the tire fixed.. I will go for over the 156 on a single hunt this yr.. I am gunnaget over 200 in one hunt........ great going man!

[crazyjarhead]

I don't know how you do it. You must have some great spots to hunt

 

[kane23]

Cynangyl,
If you would detect more you would find a lot more. I wish I were going to florida with you, you lucky woman! Woody 50 and Plumlicko, you two are are great treasure hunters you could not convice me otherwise. I envy both of you.
Minton, good job on 156 coins,you should set your goal for 300 instead of 200 you can do it. My one day best is 546,i'll be lucky if i ever get it again. One time at a park in Seattle I found 162 coins in the same hole, 158 were pennies,I guess strange things happen all of the time, I have no idea why someone left those there.
Crazy jarhead, if the coins are'nt there you can't find them. My best advice to the rest of you,if you want to find more, use a smaller loop,makes abig difference.... HH Kane 23

you two are are great treasure hunters you could not convice me otherwise. I envy both of you.

Kane, you are too kind...thank you!
I think you would have done good on those spots I told you about.
Maybe I will have to come down and we can go hunt them.

 

[DigginThePast]

Wow, almost one a minute for the first two hours. Nice job!

 

[pakeha63]

Great job on all the coins Best I've done in a day is 355 coins for 8 hours. Admittedly these were from 3 playgrounds with woodchips. You can pull coins like crazy since there is really no digging, just locate, and pinpoint. I tell you, my knees, and back were really hurting after that lot. Actually people were starting to look at me because I was crawling around on my knees most of the time
When it comes to digging plugs in the turf, I can only pull about 100 coins max for about 6 hours. After that long, its time to go home, sit on the couch like a couch potato does
Anyway, congratulations on yours finds, you hitting some good hot spots.

 

[Slingshot]

Sounds like a great day of digging to me, especially on the quarters! Congratulations! I'm taking your advice, and have purchased a 4" coil for my machine. Thanks for the tip!

I HAVE THE COIL BUT NO PLACES TO HUNT LIKE YOU HAVE. EVERYTHING AROUND HERE IS HUNTED OUT. I HUNT A 100 MILE RADIUS. THE MOST I HAVE FOUND IS ABOUT 100 COINS . ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO.

I HAVE HUNTED ALOT OF PLACES IN FLORIDA,ALABAMA,NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND MAY YOU HAVE A GREAT 2009.
