Wow!
How many man hours did you put into this? In the end, I take it that it was worth it by your response.
Not counting the picking up of the boxes nor the dumping of the coins....right at 4-5 hours a week, mostly at night while watching Thursday night football, or something else on TV. Oh, also forgot....every hunt that was worthwhile, KT took pics of the coins, posted the hunt in this Forum, and kept an Excel file up-to-date...that's how I got the statistics accurate!
But just like Mding, its a labor of love...we don't consider the value of the time spent doing it. A hobby is something you do for the pleasure of it...and even with KT's yearly totals, it ain't worth His Royal Day Job to quit and only CRH. In 2011 KT got in nearly 400 MD hunts and no CRHing. But in 2012, with the diagnosis of cancer and resultant treatment, KT got in 50 CRH runs, and only 66 MD hunts...about half before He was diagnosed and the rest after He was cured. Ya can't say KT ain't a fanatic about anything He sets His Royal Mind to! Thats how The King got the name: KingTotsalot! HA HA
And in 2011, KT only found one 64 Rosie...his only silver coin! But this year, KT has added a significant amount to His Royal Silver Horde!
