Tested out my new detector (updated)

Stormin Norman · Jun 20, 2007

Explanation provided on the 14th post

...I'm an idiot...I really only found...

182 pennies

25 dimes

6 quarters

5 nickels

I believe the 1947 dime was from a previous hunt.

thats in 4 hours, searching 20-30 sites

The only reason I had alot more then i really found was i forgot to subtract out the coins already in the pringles container...I appologize.

so the 325 is really my yearly total, not all from one hunt

Norman I applaud you on changing your totals....we already have a couple posting miracle finds daily....they still have a few followers that respond...not many...I think the experienced users have started ignoring, or lets just say not responding to the ones that seem to be drinking to much!

But there are followers who believe anything!

A fantastic day and even better you were able to admit you were wrong....that is the hardest thing for someone to do on these forums. I had one guy talking about murders on another forum...looked up the statistics which proved him wrong...posted and it was like pulling teeth even with the others who responded to the post! Finally a few others looked it up and agreed with me.

By the way I do find 218 coins believable, fantastic job! I have had times when I picked up 40 surface pennies in 20 minutes almost side by side. And recently a coin spill of 50 coins and another day 33 coins.

Guys, I've seen this before.

Don't be so quick to judge, always give the benefit of the doupt.

He's new & a warmer welcome isn't to much to ask for.

Well done what ever the total was & get out there & keep digging them.

Best of luck.
