Found a Georgia Elementary School today that I have never searched, and it was obvious that no one else had searched either. With the aid of my New White's TRX pinpointer that I recently won on "The Silverslingers" I found a record one day total of 81 clad quarters, plus 15 clad dimes, and 3 memorial "copper" cents for a total of 99 coins for a total face value of $21.75......and when divided by 99 coins found is a career $ average high for me, per target of $.2197........which is almost 22 cents per coin.......When I find an unsearched location like this, and was a 30 mile one way trip from home......I will use my 1st Stage method of recovery running in VDI of 70-99 and rejecting the cents and everything else below 70, not knowing when I would be back.......in order to get maximum $ average per coin found on my 1st trip.....In addition I also found 2 Silver .925 rings which I posted a picture of them and all the coins I found below. The 2 sterling rings were 20 grams in weight, and with silver closing today at $18.80 per ounce makes their melt value $11.18......so my total was $32.93 in value today.

I really enjoy reading about other people's finds.
Almost as much as looking at all the pictures.
 

Sounds like you have a very technically sound way of getting your enjoyment. Might you have been an accountant? ;)

Congratz on a very productive hunt! The rings look Great!
 

Nice haul with so many quarters and two nice rings, made for a great outing for you.
FYI, I found a 24k gold pendant at a school that rang in like a penny. Hopefully something like that will surprse you when you go back out to clean up that spot.
 

Very nice clad and ring hunt! Digging clad :occasion14:
 

Hey, WHADIFIND........Bingo.....YES, I was an accountant....now retired.....Thanks

Somehow, I'm not totally surprised. ;) LOL

I do similar calculations as well but I just simplified my system. I figure that I'm working about 4 times as hard now, (physically), then I was b4 I retired. AND.....I'm getting paid, on average about a dollar an hour less than I did on my very first job, back in the 60's! LOL

HH!
 

Hey, WHADIFIND.......Exactly......I know what you mean.......When I was working and had the money, but not the time......NOW....I have plenty of time, but NO money....lol.
 

UPDATE: Went back to the Georgia Elem. School on Sunday 7/3.....and found an additional 42 clad quarters, 11 clad dimes, 2 nickels and 5 copper memorial cents and 1-James Monroe $1 Presidential coin.....but no rings this time......still was $12.75 in face value, and a good start for my 1st hunt in July.....click picture below to enlarge.....Thanks for looking
