Going to try and dig all of the 50 state quarters.

[Centsless Detecting]

I found one of the 50 state quarter slabs at Goodwill that was empty for like 3 bucks. Went out on a hunt with my buddy and found 6 different state quarters that day. So I decided to start filling the slab that night. Went through a bunch of clad I had found over the 2023 season. I'm nearly half way there already. I know I have more clad somewhere around here. Here is my progress so far. Has anyone else attempted this before? I'll update this post as time goes on and I find more of them.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting everyone!

You need to do that with Indian head pennies...

Back when our beaches and school yards were more productive I was able to achieve that goal.

Now that would be neat. However I find so few of them I don't think I'd be able to complete the set.

That's very cool. I typically hunt in parks and some yard permissions. I was able to add 7 more today after finding a bag of clad in my tool box at work. My tool box is a catch all for some of my stuff. I know i have more clad somewhere. Total is at 28 now.

Thanks Bart! If it wasn't for you selling me my machines, those coins would still be in the ground.

Are you filling the frame exclusively with quarters detected & dug, or are you including pocket change & other sources?

I'm only counting the ones I dig. My buddy asked if I wanted him to help out but I politely declined his offer.

In that case, I hope you fill it... twice! 🙂

Thanks! I've had multiple duplicates already. Enough space in the slab to double stack as well 👍

Cool project. Good luck with getting it filled!

It's funny you mentioned that your trying to find all the State Quarters.

I collect coins but only the ones I find metal detecting.
I greatly prefer old coins over newer ones but I collect all of them - one Indian is better than a pocket full of clad.
I have (24) Harris Folders for the newer coins and (2) big Binder Albums for the Silver, Large Cents, etc.
Only put one of each in the Harris Folders - tumble the rest and take them to a Coinstar machine.
After digging hundreds of State Quarter's I've found all (50) States and (86) of the (100 P&D) State Quarters.
It took (11) years to find (49) of the states and (2) more years to find the only state missing - Oklahoma.
The only reason it took me so long to build this Quarter collection is because I try to avoid newer sites.
The (14) that I'm missing all have Denver mint marks.

Being a collector - I briefly thought about flying out west to Denver to complete the collection but after doing the math - I decided it's probably not worth spending many hundreds of dollars on a trip to try to find $3.50 in Quarters.
