326 and lush clover

[Wandering Yoda]

Went out Sunday to get some dirt time. Cruised over to a school the next town over. Lots of open field, with a smattering of trees and playground equipment. Got the Pro fired up in pro zero, sensitivity set 3 below max, and started digging. Hitting the high traffic areas first, the coins started piling up. Then the 1st silver ring pops out of the edge of a wood chipped playground area, a green stoned claddagh. Circling around the playground in the grass and clover nets more coins along with the 4-hearts silver ring sparkling in the warm June daylight. Clover really does swallow up the coins!!

Getting near lunch time, the "gold" ring peeks out from the roots. Probably a "nitro" faker, it's very light and, dang it, I can't read the ridiculously small stamping. Work back to the auto, picking up a few more coins. After a rough count, it looked like a 300 coin day was in reach. Cracker Barrel for lunch, then it was back to the clover. A side note, I noticed as the day warmed the carpenter and honey bees were everywhere, thousands of those critters feasting on clover "nectar".

Being that it was cloudy and breezy, and I'd never dug 300 coins in a single day before, the Pro and I just kept digging. Towards the end of the day the last silver band came to light. So the total comes to $49.99. And 326 coins that will visit the tumbler this week. The pile O' trash targets are pictured to. Very happy to bag a 300+ day, but here sits one sore fellow. Thanks to all of you that post here, it seems to make me a better searcher, whether it's the cool finds or an idea/technique/setting to experiment with!!

Here are pic's of the other rings as well as a couple of sweet collector coins. I find it quite fun to swap filthy clad for ever so silky smooth silver. The NGC graded quarter will be a Christmas gift and the 5oz silver "quarter" goes into Yoda's hut for safe keeping. Anybody else buy coins with their clad?

Wow!! what a day, great finds and Congrats on your 326 don't know how your walking right now lol

MASSIVE! Huge day! Congratulations! Way to buckle down and stay on the crab!
Yep, on those nice overcast days, sometimes a guy just has to cram a weeks hunting in all at once! Capt Phil used to say "stay on the crab" and thats what I mutter to myself when a guy gets into it like you did!

Theres a few others who buy silver with their clad, good thing to do...I buy gas and beer, so have nothing to show for it!

I'm surprised that you can even type after that!! That is an incredible number of coins! Your jewelry count is pretty darn impressive, tool

Man that sounds like a fun day. What size coil were you using?

You made me read the posting a couple of times...326
Thought I needed new glasses as I saw the 925...an upside-down 326?

I was not thinking of 326 COINS...I doubt I could get down and back up that many time not to mention all the other targets you dug.
I guess I will have to hit the gym and get back into shape. Your posting brought back memories of a 400+ coin day from the water and 300+ pull tabs in one day. Thoes two days about did me in.

I did get to do a bit of WaterWalking yesterday. Looking for two rocks that were placed over a lost wedding band. It took me more time to find the rock - about 35 minutes and only a few seconds to retrieve the ring. The owner was wearing it a few minutes later. However, in the 35 minutes in the water the ring was the ONLY target.

Your hunt I know was not your typical walk in the park, yet it is "The Way It Was" A Great Day!

That's a lot of knee bends and coin popping. I bet you slept well that night! Congrats on all those rings.

 

[deepseeker442]

wow man wtg for you wow

 

[Wandering Yoda]

Thank you all for the awesome and kind responses.

Recovery for me William is rest and lot'sa liquids for rehydration And sleep well I did John

dflan83, just using the stock coil. Though I'm considering adding the Sniper coil to the arsenal. Just to get closer to playground equipment and such. John-Edmonton posted a good comparison on the coils a week or so ago.

A 400 coin day is an inspiring feat WaterWalker, and I thought about what variables a fellow would need to get that or even 500. Total agreement from me, don't know if these bones could handle that, 400 coins plus trash, and I'd be toast

Mmmmmm, sweet luscious crab, good call Mud

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! you blew my best clad coin day right out the water. I've dug 300+ coins in one day a few times, but never that high of a dollar amount. WOW!

Nice going on the rings as well.

Sweet ring digs buddy, not to mention the huge clad haul ! Seems all I can dig for rings so far this year is costume. Oh well, they still give that adrenaline burst when coming out of the dirt.

 

[dgruff]

Man, the way I feel right now, it hurts me just thinking of all the digging you did. But, it looks like you were well rewarded for the hard work...Congrats!

 

[mudpuppy]

Sweet Shards of Narsil! Great Gimli's Ghost! Thats enough clad to buy a round at the Prancing Pony, or a half years supply of Longbottom Leaf! I'll be buggered by a Balrog, thats one massive haul!

I'm gonna start looking around for lush clover! Maybe clad and silver like to hide in it?

[William-NM]

Yep, Mud-- he must have some dwarf blood in him to dig all that Mithril!

that's quite funny, makes a fellow scrounge up some appropriate imagery
