Awsome totals John. I've been detecting off and on since the 70's, and the thought of keeping count never entered my mind, until I started reading this forum about a year ago. I started out with a Whites BFO when silver was easy to find. I remember selling my silver for about $50 back then.

1964 was the last year for 90% silver coins that were struck for circulation. Half Dollars from '65 to '70 are 40% silver.

Good work John!

Speaking of inspirational women, have heard of Kay Modgling, she was a surgical nurse that had to retire early:
(The following is an excerpt taken from chapter 16 of "The Hunt for Amazing Treasures")
Kay Modgling was a surgical nurse twenty-five years ago and loved her work. In her mid fifties, she couldn't believe that her recent health problems were more than overwork and the lingering aftereffects of the flu.
"What will I do if I'm retired?" she asked. "I need to keep busy, have purpose to my life."
One day her sister-in-law came to visit on her way to an outing at the beach. She had a metal detector with her and showed Kay how it worked. When she saw Kay's dejected expression, she put the detector in Kay's hand and said "Take this and start going out to the beach. It's amazing what you can find and the ocean air will do wonders for you."
The first day Kay went to Huntington Beach, California with her metal detector, she found a number of coins. Just hearing the beep-beep sound that the detector made gave her a feeling of excitement. As she scooped up the sand at the indicated spot, she knew she had found something to keep her active and interested.
"I've been on the beach after a storm and at times have found as many as 1,300 coins..."
Kay's husband, Tom, began to hunt with her and they learned quickly and well. She said, "I've been on the beach after a storm and at times have found as many as 1,300 coins. I had to walk back to my car stooped over because of all those coins in my apron."
Soon Kay took her trusty detector to other areas, such as parks and campgrounds. Before long she not only had thousands of coins but quite an array of rings, watches, military medals, religious medallions, foreign currency, and gold and silver jewelry.
At one point Kay used some of the coins she had found to buy a new Ford Pinto. Yes, there were that many thousands of dollars in coins, with many left over. About 1990 she stopped counting her finds because they numbered half a million and were valued at more than $60,000.
At one point Kay used some of the coins she had found to buy a new Ford Pinto.
"I've been all over this country and others such as Mexico and Australia," Kay said. "All over the place and I've yet to go out and find nothing. I always find something."
Kay's prowess with the metal detector inspired many others who wanted to add some adventure to their lives or to find a way to overcome health problems and have fun while doing so. She said, "This hobby has given me my life. Whenever my health problems would bother me I'd just take my detector and away I'd go and just work off steam. I'm living proof that there's treasure everywhere, no matter where you find it.
Kay's first detector she bought was the Compass 94IB, after that all the rest of her 23 detectors were given to her as promotional gifts from the manufacturers.
She always hunted in all-metal and listened to the nuances of the machine.
The 94b is fast and light as a trick shooters pistol with the same detector engine as the 77B. no fuss no muss.
Pretty inspirational gal, I must say.
