Having said that, i found enough clad to last a life time and not especially interested in finding anymore.
Got buckets of dug up clad laying around and don't need no more. The thrill of finding a handful of clad, well those days are gone.
Ditto....!!!! After last season where I dug $253 in clad/zinc (I do dig the coppers and sort/save seperate and don't count) I realized I was wasting very precious time that SHOULD have been spent seeking out the older deepies. I made a decision to not dig as much new stuff this season?
Yeah, its like fishing for minnows when you could be fishing for 10 pound trout!
Unfortunately I haven't been out in over 3 weeks due to getting my winters wood put up and mainly due to having to travel so far to have a decent chance at older stuff in the big city (220mi rt). Looks like this season might be somewhat slim for me on the numbers but also very happy with the quality coins I've dug so far this season?
Ironsight.... Last season I dug 3 gold rings and 1 so far this season. Got em all chasing the nickel numbers. I'm a coin guy period and could care less about jewelry. In the future, you might dig ALL the nickel signals and maybe stumble onto some gold like I did (or a V or buffie!!!!)...??????:
In the heavier trashy parks around here and i mean trashy, i typically discriminate out anything in that junk range.
When i do use my 'liberal' nickel notch in less trashier parks, i do find nickels lots of them but no gold rings. Gave up on gold, its all about silver for me.
You guys that enjoy the clad...have at er and have fun with it while you still enjoy it....!!!!!
