So today I went to a coin shop for the first time to ask about a way to do a wall mount display of coins I have found so far. They gave me a few recommendations that are a little pricey but if I can’t find any other option then may pull the trigger.
Man was that place a mind f#^k not only is it just overwhelming it made me more of a coin shooter I believe either great older coins or clad.
Also made me think about hitting local beaches and buying my first sand scoop. The best part was meeting this gentleman buying 30k in silver bars and 10oz coins. Blew my mind. He also got multiple ounces of gold it was just crazy. I have seen cash on a high level before but damn was impressed. The reason I bring up beaches is this gentleman gave me and a buddy permission to hit his land and get us other areas as long as we show them what we get. I also I invited him in return to try one of my machines while out there. So tomorrow we are hitting the strips first then heading to this gentleman’s cabin on the shores of whidbey island at low tide. I will be ordering a ckg scoop as he has other San Juan island land. This is now 2 massive permissions for me within one week. I will now forever not be scared to ask or bring up this hobby in any conversation anymore.
Ok but the thread... see this is something I never really considered I have seen metal detecting nyc recommend this so maybe I had a slight leaning to do this. So far this year every time I hit whatever the oz spot price is for silver I will buy one oz coin of silver. As of this morning I was at 54.12 so bought my first one
Paid 29.50 so like 2 over spot roughly. But still my first bought coin. All while buying with the clad I found. I intend to do this here on out.
What do you all do with you clad?
Oh and as for tomorrow drone is coming with. And eventually I am gonna get a GoPro 9 or whatever is the most current.

), my clad does go toward silver because I deposit my clad at the end of the season and buy/replace needed gear. That's one of the great things about this hobby, some of the cost associated is recaptured in the finds, depending on what your willing to part with.
