Cool idea & I haven’t really thought about that…….I suppose if I was hunting everyday that would be a must..but,, I don’t have that luxury at this time……. Again, good idea!

I set up an Access database as it was easier to add pics. I really wish I had started tracking my finds in the beginning of my detecting days.

Anyone use spreadsheet to keep track of metal detecting

I talked to one of the guys around here and he told me that he uses a spreadsheet to track his metal detecting adventures. Anyone else here use the same with examples of how they do it ?

I mentioned above that i had site sheets that I used for many years before changing over to the spreadsheet. I went back and looked thru many of them. One of the things I like about the site sheets it that i can add to previous entries and get an overall idea of where i've hunted and how certain areas have produced or not. I'm thinking of returning to the site sheets rather than continuing to use the Spreadsheet.

Might've been easier to bump the January conversation on this rather than start from scratch.

From conversations last month I did freshen up my site sheet and print up a bunch of them for 2022. I decided it was more important for me to have a sheet that documented a particular site over time. Counting clad totals isn't why I hunt. It may be different for others with aspirations different than mine and a spreadsheet might be just the right ticket.

A spreadsheet is a nice way of keeping up with finds. But site sheets are also handy. One of the added benefits of a site sheet is you could have a folder containing your site sheets that you could show someone if they’re interested in what you find detecting.

What template do you use in excel on a spreadsheet to keep track of metal detecting finds

Here is a spreadsheet I made up years ago when I moderated a proboards forum here in Oklahoma. The forum no longer exists. Not Excel, but a spreadsheet made in Google Sheets. Free for anyone to use. You could easily modify a few cells to keep track of your finds. Obviously, you will want to change the images (other than the coins). I've made the sheet shareable so anyone can download and use it.
