I have only hit it for $3.25 or something. Wait till Bigrig and Norski see this thread. I'm sure their teamwork will blow everyone else out of the water.

So far, from searching since about April, my biggest cash haul was $2.32. I have found a total of about $13 in that time. Only unusual finds, money wise, have been a 5 Centimes Frecnch coin, 1 Deutsche Mark, A Buffalo Nickel and a few Wheat Pennies.

Found 5.50 last Sunday at a ballfield (just behind the dugouts and back stop). Found 4.85 same place the day before. Conditions were ideal. Every hit a coin, only about 8 pulltabs. Found several "doubles" (2 coins together). Even quarters down a few inches were "double-hitting" (halo effect). Something about the ground I guess. Was able to turn the Ace 250 sensitivity up to 7 bars with no trouble. Was finding dimes at 6 inches and nickels at 3 inches wich is pretty unusual. Almost got boring and my hand got sore from all the digging. I know I can find plenty more next time once my hand feels better!!
The 250 is a quarter killer!! If it says quarter it is quarter (or 2).

God love the Canadian govn't $2.10 was my biggest haul, because we have 2$ coins in circulation

A little over $9.00 in about two hours at a little beach north of Chicago. Was there on vacation...all I have to say is you guys in big cities have it good, could easily pay for a detecor in just one summer with the clad found.

I used to keep track of those things when I first started detecting back in the late 70's and early 80's
I think the most face value I found in one afternoon was around $18.00
My usual afterwork detecting haul in those days was 65 coins average, Out of that 6 would be silver, Generally four dimes and two silver quarters,
Man I miss those days.
The most silver i found in one outing was at My own church that was built in 1957 and was a fairly modern looking building so was ignored by other detectors. I remembered sunday school picnics on the grounds of that church when I was a kid and We always were given collection plate change so I thought I would detect that church yard for a laugh, I found 42 silver dimes and 27 silver quarters in about 3 hours as well as numerous pennies. Silver was still in circulation in the late 50's and early sixties.
It was a virgin yard. The building just looked too modern for most detectors to think anything good might be in there.
I cleaned up that day!
My best silver haul before or since
