Got out Sunday for some fresh air and to root out some clad. Wandered over to an elementary school I hadn't detected before. Did the playground equipment 1st and found 2 silver colored rings. Both were laying on top of the grass. One was obviously a small girls 2014 class ring and the other somewhat larger ring with blue tape wrapped around it to fit a finger better. An hour later a young girl and her brother come up, she had lost her rings. So I asked her to describe them, and she does right down to the blue tape wrapped around the one. So after a big smile she went on her way happy and relieved. I just didn't get any pictures of the rings dang it!!
Anyways the rest of the day was clad clad clad.... And the most nickels I've ever found in one day, 80. I'd say 98% were in one corner of a football field, scattered in bunches in an area probably 20x30'. I was still getting low 50's on the Pro when exhaustion and sunset sent this grubby fellow to the showers. Totaled out over $31 with the Harrison dollar coin. 242 coins in the pouch, and now onward to the tumbler!!!!

Now thats a day to remember! Its tough enough to get a century day let alone a 242! And 80 nickels is quite remarkable!
as is a dual ring return! Man, 31 bucks in clad! this is one for the books! Do you dig clad or stab it with a screwdriver? You obviously have a fast retrieval method, and did not get distracted by all the Q and D's in there, most would have highgraded that place for the Q's, great to see you went after it all!....Super cool there Yoda!
Although I've been considering switching to the more durable screwdriver. WaterWalker, if I saw ocean gold in my sand scoop like some of your stuff I'd morph into a beach bum for sure
And jim tn, sparkster, ddmk6, Forrest Mc, and metalfun thank you for the very kind words and taking the time to post. Surf N Turf I was using the stock coil. But, a 5x8 will be joining the team as soon as I can swing one. Dancer, yeah there are some nice honey holes out there, and of course if you start piling up quarters then you know nobody's been in there digging it up and it's game on then
. A bicentennial dig, that's a cool term Leslie, I will use that next time with your permission of course
From coins and knee pain my God! This is a real "Great job." 
HARD FOR ME TO DIG IN DRY SOIL. (70 NOW) BUT I'LL KEEP TRING)
