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.

Hunting Log

I just added a section for platinum jewelry and gold coins. keep the feedback coming, thanks for your interest...

 

[treasurefiend]

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.

are you duppodrf to keep a log of ;your junk ops I mean treasures?

 

[BH-LandStar]

No sanchrog, your not required to keep a log of your finds, but it comes in handy when you want to go back and see the details of where, when, and what other items you found with it after some time has passed. Also great for keeping track of how much of that clad your collecting over time, how much of each coin type your finding, etc. A log has many useful purposes.

HEY! Thanks for the Excel program...It works just great.

I do have a suggestion ... and it's a minor thing. I rearranged some of the columns to "personalize" for me. I put my more common finds toward the beginning. There are a LOT of the find catagories I will probably never come close to finding (but who knows?).

Regards and HH, Joe

That was my suggestion, too. How did you move the columns? Mine are protected.
