It has been quite the adventure since starting my hunt through the 2 mile long median strip in San Francisco. I started this hunt back in mid September and I've been hunting it just about every weekend since. I just finished my second pass and really noticed how much the good coin targets that have thinned out. Today I put in 6 hours and dug out just 36 coins. I'm pretty confidant that 90% of the good stuff is gone. I'm sure a few silvers are still out there, It's just going to be a lot harder to find.
Today was pretty slim with the finds. 36 total coins for 6 hours work. A buffalo nickel, 3 wheaties, and a little over $3.00 in clad. My hunting partner using his XP Dues had only some clad coins, he worked the same area as I.
It was a great place while it lasted. These are the totals:
11 Mercury Dimes
3 Silver Roosevelt Dimes
1 Silver Quarter (1940's)
1 Indian Head Penny (1901)
3 Buffalo Nickels
96 Wheat Pennies
10 Sterling Silver Rings
1 10K Gold Ring
1000+ Clad Coins
100+ tokens
