Clad ain't bad......turns into treasure!
Save your clad...Let it build up and go buy someting nice for your collection! After all, it was found with your detector!
I take all my clad, roll it up and take it to the bank and turn it in. Then I go to my favorite coin shop and I buy either Silver Dollars or 1 oz. Silver rounds with it and I add them to my collection! No, I did not dig them up but, the value of them came from the ground so I can justify them being in my collection of finds! I do not lie to people and say I found them, I just explain that they were purchased with all of the "change" that I dug up! Clad is nasty looking if you don't clean it up so I just turn it into something nice for my collection! I am slowly building my collection up and I will someday cash in at least the silver dollars and clad that I find and either buy myself a motorcycle or take a trip up to Missouri where I can do some real "old coin hunting" :P I have been detecting full time since I got my DFX in September and so far I would estimate that I have dug up over $300.00 just in clad so far. I had 1 day where I dug up 152 coins in one day! Total about 13.00 in one day! Now that does start to add up over time! You could also save it up for a couple years and buy yourself a new detector every two years with just the clad that you found! ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
Clad ain't bad...it turns into treasure after a while! Pictured is my collection as it stands now. This is everything I dug up since September with my DFX. The silver rounds and silver dollars you see were purchased with clad that was dug up!

That would take you about 10 days of rolling! 
Guess what though....it would be so worth it!
