Follow-up Hunt to a large Community Center in Florida and won a MEDAL!

[wlb42]

Again, all the coins were clad, however I have found silver coins at this HUGE "CC" area that has two baseball fields, basketball & tennis courts, playground area & even a very large outdoor swimming pool with a lot of green space for Kids of all ages to play. I have hunted here at least 9 times before in the last 5 years and always find a lot of clad coins. TODAY 4/11/2019 I found 33 quarters, 27 dimes & 22 pennies, for a total of 82 coins & $ total of $11.17. However I did WIN(dig) a READING Medal - I guess it was for the "Good Reading" of my VDI numbers on my old White's MX-5, but not sure . Good Luck & HAPPY HUNTING to ALL.​

Hey, Trezurehunter - THANKS - I was curious which county or area do YOU hunt while in Illinois? I was born & raised in the area of Peoria-Knox-Fulton county areas - but moved to FLORIDA in 1988 so been here 31 years. BILL

Hey, Tommy......THANKS - Yes I am surprised at the number of quarters I have found so far for 2019 - In fact here are my totals so far thru this last hunt:

I have already found 707 clad Quarters for 2019 in just 26 times out which is an average of 27 clad quarters or $6.75 average per outing(just in quarters alone). Plus I have already found 2 clad Dollars & 1 clad Half Dollar. Now, I need to hunt some older sites & yards to increase my SILVER coin count. Good Luck & Happy Hunting to ALL......BILL
