Has Buckleboy Gone MAD? My CLAD Post!

[BuckleBoy]

Now this is a CLAD post.

Only took 16 years to get this much. All going to AeroMike toward the purchase of my new 1266-XB detector.

Average of 150 CLAD coins per year (mainly due to "salting the jar" for repairs as my machine neared its 15th birthday). This year, I've taken a minimalist approach to CLAD--to see if I can find more oldies than CLAD. (I'm losing the fight. )

Well over 2,500 coins pictured below. Enjoy!

Well BBGM, never complain about cash, back in the early 80's when I used to be a beach hunter, I remember filling up a fish bowl full of clad and then buying a VCR with the found money.

Now, I think like you in wanting more old stuff over clad and I think I am running rather close this year. Just returned from a short hunt and recovered what one of your goal coins is. Posting later, nothing too special though.

That's an impressive pile of clad Will,with that new machine I'm sure you'll be scoring some oldies real soon!!!!

You found a what? Don, in my opinion anytime a KG is found, it is a special moment! Maybe if I had found dozens of them it wouldn't be, but as you know--it's a goal of mine. Every time I visit the folks in Virginia, I try again...but I grew up in the western part of Va and they're a little more scarce there. Spanish Silvers and early LC's are much more common.

Don,

Admit it: you really used the money for an 8 track player!!!

I am sure you have more than just me wondering and waiting for your post later!


BB: 150 coins per year may seem miniscule for a lot of the coin shooters on this site, but like you, Don and many others I find more clad than i wish to. I average $40-70 per year. Every January 2nd, I empty my non keepers into the Commerce Bank Penny Arcade (No Coinstar Fee at Commerce right now, but lets see what happens when they change all of their signs to TD Bank North ). January 3rd I have an empty "Bet you can't" mug and I start all over!

Or a turntable to play all those 78 RPM disks!

Well the clad does add up. Right now with gas the way it is I do not mind finding clad. Good on you for being able to buy a new detector with yours.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen!!!

 

[Iron Patch]

My last 5 years added up would be under $10.

Going mad would be wanting to keep them in your collection.

Dude.. That pile of coin looks an awful lot like my average for..oh.. say three months or so.. of three or four short hunts a month. <grin> But then, I'm *NOT* taking a "minimalist" approach.. I'm LOOKING for clad, and anything else I can detect of course. <grin> Hey.. all clad is "found money" .. money in the bank so to speak. I save all mine and cash it in for vacation money.. you know "MAD MONEY". I've never understood that term though.. I mean.. how can money be angry? Sad, sure.. just look at the lowly memorial pennies that are dissolving away in the dirt.. but "Mad" ?? I don't get it.. <laughing>
Well here's hoping that you Slooooooowwwwww down on the finding of the clad, and start finding more OLDER coins. If you like, you can just send all that useless clad my way.. I'll just, uh.. add it to the vacation fund... and see if it gets angry..er.. "mad" too. <laughing>

Happy Hunting my friend!

I think I see a KG in the nickle pile. Now lost to the bank! Thats one hell of a haul brother. With my screwed up arm and neck I see a lot of clad in my future but at least I will be digging! I go for the MRI Friday so we will see what they say.

A lot of coins there. You see a lot of dug coins in change now. Good luck on you finds.

 

[jraven]

Nice, I'm in the process of cleaning my clad at the moment.....About $90.00 worth..I'm using the tumbler I bought from Michaels.. I'll post before and after pictures soon....

 

[Merf]

That's a lot of loot Buckles
Hope you find lots more with the new detector and lots of old old stuff.

 

[SamsSon]

Nice pile of coin there. I've got to clean up the lbs of that stuff I've got laying around and take it to the bank.

Nice going.

 

[silverfreak]

Now that's a load of coins B.B.

 

[BuckleBoy]

Oh, how the mighty have fallen!!!

No kidding.


Iron Patch,

If I'd only gone for oldies after I had learned my machine instead of salting the clad pile for repairs I'd have had under $50 for 16 years.


I'm kinda glad I boosted the clad count a little on occasion throughout the years. It's coming in handy--and it's keeping me with a Classic Machine without having to sell any finds.

Hat's off to you, Mr. CladHunter, Sir.

I am Always out for the oldest coins and the CW relics.  It's just the way I'm wired.  I could spend my day draining my batteries out digging zinc pennies in the heat, or I could be in the air-conditioned library making notes or in the musty courthouse basement looking at the earliest property deeds.  I think about the next Banner Find with each waking moment--and I have a hunch I'm not as likely to find it in a tot lot.

Regards,


Buckles
