So.....What Are You Buying With Your Clad?

Gold coins have really gone crazy in price. I budgeted about $150.00 for a coin, but had to up that to $200.00 to actually buy one. I too was considering some silver, but I hated to break tradition.
Fractional gold pieces almost always command high premiums over spot price, smaller the coin, higher the premium. That’s why I like the large coins like the gold 50 Peso, 1.2 oz. gold with low premium over spot. I believe the best deals are sovereign gold pieces.

I consider .9999 Canadian maples a nice 24k gold coin with low premium.
Premium on a 1/10 oz. is 12%
Premium on a 1 oz. is only 4%

Btw, I have two quart jars full of clad, one is full of pennies. I don’t dig a lot of it, but that’s about three or four years worth.
 
As promised I would post my Gold coin that I purchased with this years clad when it arrived. I'm very pleased to have it. Trapper

Trapper that 5 dollar gold is beutiful.
Very well earned I might add.
What a way to reward yourself .
If she is not motivation to stop on a dime and dig then I do not know what is .

Haven’t turned in my clad from hunting or my clad from seated hunts in 6 years!! I’m sure I’m sitting on a good chunk but what I’ll buy who knows. Silver or gold?

6 years of clad laying around ?

Time to rent a small electric cement mixer and get the job done Mike .
It may take you an entire day to separate the coppers out alone .
Sounds like a good time .
 
Ahhhh she’s a beaut!!!
Appreciate your reply Digger. I'm sure you can imagine how many plugs were dug for this return. Probably be the only Gold Coin I will ever have.
Such a beauty my friend!!!

You two guys have been with me throughout this year and know I have hunted pretty hard. This is the icing for what has been some of the best times I've had in this hobby. I just want to say thank you for your support and friendship. Trapper

I only found $85 this year so I cashed it in and went to the casino. A few hours later I had won an additional $370. Can I count this as finds since I had my pinpointer in my pocket?? 🙄💰😁 I’ll probably just blow it all at the casino next weekend. 🤑
