Well, all that matters is that you're enjoying the hobby, finding some keepers and cleaning up the environment. Pretty detailed accounting of your hunts.

Since I log every hunt, it usually takes less than hour or so to tally things up. Plus I update about every 2-3 weeks. Saves from having to go back through the entire years log.

what in the world? You catalog every hunt? good counts indeed!

It only takes a couple minutes when I get home. I'm a bit concerned that my nail count is catching up to the coin count. Better hit more beaches and tot lots.
I recovered about a third of my detector setup cost. Only takes one nice ring to put me over the top.

My nail count would be depressing
