Last weekend of the year…..

[Ronstar]

Kinda cold but the ground was easy to dig and just had to get out. Didnt find anything earth shattering but came home with more coins than has been the norm.

Saturday was a small patch of grass on the back side of a classroom building and ended up with $3.80 in clad (mostly 70-80s). Sunday was a sleeper until I was on my way back to my truck……
I had 40c in clad and the truck was maybe 50 yards away when all of a sudden that Legend started chattering like an old geiger counter on speed! With in minutes I had a pouch full of coins that were only 1” deep and still shiny. Ended up with $1.85 in under 5 minutes. I elected to ignore the zincoln hits but I bet 15 or so still there. Had one deeper dime hit that ended up being probably a WW2 cuff button. One hit of interest was a solid repeatable 47 that ended up being two dimes stacked on top of a quarter. Area was maybe 8’x5’ and next to a major sidewalk. I was using the 11” coil running in Park with 25 Sens and a 7 Recovery speed. Even tho shallow I was able to identify a dime less that inch from a zincoln
Later today I will go downstairs and tally up my 2023 clad count but should have topped $50!!!!

Nice way to finish the year Ron. Congrats on the respectable clad score. My last hunt of the year was a couple days after Christmas. I was also in Park, M3 and 7 recovery speed. It was an old trashy park and the only coins I found, the Legend sniffed out a 3 wheatie spill from the 40s. So yeah I would say you did quit well. Good luck. Mark

That silver is getting really tough to find, nice clad recovery.

Nice outing. I hit a small coin spill yesterday, but not quite as good as yours..
3 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 1 penny.
Sounds like you did pretty good last year!!

 

[Ronstar]

Thanks folks! A couple places we hit pretty often is getting harder and harder to find anything. May have to start wearing all black and start prowling the neighborhoods at night…….

Still sounds like a good outing. We've all had complete fails compared to a good clad day after Christmas.
