We dig a lot of holes!

[Old Dude]

I tallied my clad finds for the 6 months I have been detecting, 1642 coins recovered. $109.70. Not sure what the ratio of coin to trash digs was, but when you add them all up, that's a lot of holes! When I add the 20 paper bucks found while detecting, I have at least paid for the pinpointer. Hope the rest of the year is good to me.

Hey I love finding clad, alot of folks do not like to find clad, thats fine by me, save up that clad, then going and buy a nice grade old coin with it.
Best of luck to you.

Thanks. I consider everything I dig to be another learning experience. It all adds up to a greater whole. If people want to pass over clad, I will gratefully take it, lol.

I never turn down clad - saves using my regular income for gas and batteries. I know some save clad up and buy collectible coins with it as well. After all, it does spend just fine.

Aside from finding coins this is great exercise as well. I counted the times i got down to dig one day and in 3 hours I got down 138 times. That was a pretty good day but on an average outing of 3 - 4 hours I usually get down to dig about 50 - 70 times.

I would rather claim that "I made lots of recoveries" instead of holes. At least in my case, not all recoveries required a "hole" being dug.

I know a lot of deep knee bends going on, I have been detecting for about four years and have saved all of my clad coins in a big bottle. Told my son to slit it up between my Grandkids when I'm gone. So far I have found around $700. So it won't make them rich but it is better than nothing.
