12.31 clad only 76 cents from 1000!!!!

[sgtwilks]

Went to finish up a field I was searching last week. We had 5 days of rain and the ground was soggy. Last grid diagonally half done will be finished with it tomorrow. All I need is .76 cents to make 1000 bucks in clad.

Since you are only 76 cents from hitting a $1000 in clad I'll say congratulations now on hitting that impressive amount since you will find that next time you are out I'm sure. Big congrats to you!!!

[JBEXPRESS]

Man that's awesome!!!!! Hope you get out tomorrow and get it.

[sgtwilks]

Thank you. When I set this goal in April I thought it was impossible.

[joee5]

go for a quick night hunt and finish that up.

[sgtwilks]

Rained 5 days straight. As soon as it was getting dark the bugs came out. I would of stayed out longer but the bugs were so big they were knocking my tools out of my hands. One mosquito was so big it had a tick on it. I used deep woods off and it did nothing.

Congrats on that awesome milestone. You've dug some SERIOUS clad, my friend. What are you gonna do next? Do you have any idea how you're going to spend it? Good job, and good luck on future hunts. : )

Thanks Frankie,
I have been depositing it in the bank. I have a separate account with all profits from silver and a few rings that my wife did not keep and clad. I'm trying to make this hobby self sufficient. I paid for my mxt pro 550.00 new. I paid for 2 whites bullseye 2 pinpointers 60 bucks each new.I bought my F4 with the money from my f2 I sold and clad was 250 new. I pay for all gas and batteries from that account. I still have just under 500 bucks in there and I have 100 bucks here to deposit. It is working.

Wow that’s a lot of clad and I would hate to be the bank employee or whoever that has to go through all that when you cash in. Or have you done that as you went but this is just a year totaled for you any way nice job. HH & GL

[Patton]

Well, I'm jealous!
My goal was also a $1,000 in clad for 2012. Not sure what I was thinking. I'm not even half way there! But...on a bright note I will beat my 2011 Clad totals easily and my Silver and Ring count are way up! (Thanks to a certain Honey Hole, right Redd, Ks Dave, pulltabMiner, etc.)
Congrats on a remarkable achievement Sarge. Well done!

That's a lot of clad! I always contemplate just pounding the clad sites for a year to bank it up and buy a new machine. Somehow I always get sucked away from that plan to hit all of the old elusive sites like construction projects, fields and woods. Oh well , not complaining as I have made some nice finds!

Yea that is what I did build a bank account up to take care of expenses. I am going to hunt like you do in the fall. I have a few places in mind.
