Default New Record Clad Count For Me

I went to a local park today that I've hunted before. I wasn't doing too good there, so I headed over to another park that I discovered a few days ago. It was loaded with clad and very little trash. I ended up finding 115 coins in a four hour hunt!

This is the first time that I've exceeded 100 coins! This hunt also puts me over 1000 coins (a total of 1044) since I purchased my Ace250 in April. Woo-hoo!

The pictures are of the pile, ready to be rinsed, and two Chuck E Cheese tokens that I discovered after rinsing.

It's interesting that I just commented about Chuck E Cheese tokens in one of DFX-Gregg's threads. What a coincidence! Now I need to comment about some gold that someone has found...

That's a good pile of targets you dug! It's great finding a site without much trash once in a while, isn't it.

Good luck on the gold, it's got to be coming.

Yes, it's quite a change. (Get it? ) I usually dig a ton of trash because I dig almost everything.

Yep, $5.00 worth. Most of them were concentrated in one small area.

Oh, I sure will be. I'm usually a little sore the next day, then really sore the second day after. The last time I dug allot of coins (98), I was sore for half of the following week. But that time I dug allot of trash too.


Thanks everyone!
