My Free Metal Detecting Computer Log - tell me what you think

[treasurefiend]

I made this program using Microsoft excel. And yes this is me in the video. I made it so you just enter the amount of coins / rings it the corresponding spot, and it will keep a running tally for you, please see the video and see for yourself. If you want me to send it to you, Send me a PM with your email address. and let me know if you want a 30 hunt, 60 hunt, 90 hunt, or a 120 hunt log book. You need to have Microsoft excel though. I am giving this away for free because I think people will really like it.

Interesting log you have devised treasurefiend. There is abundant details on the specific finds, but I have a few more ideas, that would be of particular interest to a water hunter. I have something more primitive on notebook paper, myself, but I have details, that could aid future hunts. I have the date, when the low or high is during my hunt. I have the location of my hunt and which unit I was running. I have the exact amount of time spent at each location and separation of the nut (or total), from each location. Wind direction and velocity. Then, I list how many and what the details are concerning each piece I found. Just a thought, to further your refining process. I have thought that it would be cool to have a similar program, as then I could easily read it, LOL! For now, I think I will stick to what I currently use. Great idea!

Well you just gave me so great ideas to incorporate into my log, thanks for the feedback. Mine isn't the best, but at least its free and it keeps track of quite a few finds. Somebody else suggested that I make one that has a 12 month calender, I like that too. I made this over the last 2 nights, I am an insomniac, and its hard to fall asleep, so I'm always doing things like this to pass the time.

I am getting emails left and right, a lot of them on what to add more sections. So I added the following suggestions to the hunt log: A comments / areas hunted section, which detector used section, relics section, relics estimated values section, rings estimated values section, a grand total for coin value/ ring value/ relic values (all 3 combined) section, and a major finds list. Thanks for the feedback.
