Wow, what a pile of loot. I've only been able to get out 3 times since buying the detector (winter in Michigan, what can I say?).
So far, a whopping 43 cents and a pile of junk.
Come on, springtime!!

Scott in S.C. · Feb 21, 2006

Keep diggin HobBob and it will come. I do live in a great winter time area, and do get to dig all year. You should see the piles of junk I dig every trip, a pound or more each long trip. I do live in a very trashy area.

keith73 · Feb 21, 2006

I live in Canada and our clad goes up to 2 dollars. We haven't used paper 1's and 2's in 20 years so I'm looking forward to finding clad when I get my detector.

OkieDigger · Feb 21, 2006

I don't really count clad, but what I remember so far for my three or four trips this year are:

2 IH (1902, 1906)
2 dateless buffs
1 1904 V nickel
1 indian silver bracelet with turquoise

A buffalo nickel was one of my goals for this year, so I'm happy

My 2006 finds through February 11th include:

Clad:
154 quarters
244 dimes
93 nickels
641 pennies
Total = $73.94

Other Coins:
1 SAC Dollar
Wheat Pennies:
1946
1952S
1955
1957D
10 Pesos
1992 Canadian dime

5 tokens
14 keys
1 Silver ?Happy Face? ring - very cute
1 small 10K gold ring w/7 very small diamonds

LOTS & LOTS of pull tabs, foil, and other trash

Plus a lot of fun and exercise, which is what it is all about.
