200 Coin Day Mission & Contest-Prize/Closed To Further Entries

Re: 200 Coin Day Mission & Contest-Prize

First of all I want to wish you the best of luck. I don't care if I win or not! I hope and will be pulling for you to get to 200 coins in a day. I did it once this year and that is enough for me! I had two nice coin spill recoveries that day and found the stash of the panhandlers (50 coins) under some leaves(found in area I later was told they live), as well as a few small coin spills.<<<That is what inspired me to go for the 200! It took me a total of 6 and 1/2 hours.

What I remember after 3 hours I had 103 coins....that included the panhandlers loot! I thought the most important thing I did at that point (after 3 hours) was count the coins and take a break. I had a snack and a bottle of water. I usually hunt only 3 hours due to the fact I dig almost all my coins from the dirt. So I had a snack, washroom break and counted the rest of the way, it ended up being $15.22 total with 202 coins. I also had 2 rings, one was 14k.

A couple important reminders. If you truly want to hit 200....

#1 Count..... and add 10 more finds before quitting at end....I always add 10 whenever I go for 100 (once a week). That way if my counting is off....i may end up with 106 or 108....had to many times when I thought I counted 100 and it was 92 or 96 or whatever.

#2 Go to a productive park or field. I usually set myself up for my 100 coin day by picking and saving my best spots for that day.

#3 If you do not feel it is going to happen in a reasonable amount of time....quit! There is always tomorrow....don't burn yourself out! 2 of my 100 coin days this spring/summer probably cost me a few hunting days... One I stayed and got my 100 but was sunburned and dizzy. The other time I stayed and detected under and around trees during a downpour and felt like someone kicked the crap out of me! My point is don't overdue it!

#4 Have extra batteries...I use a rechargable battery pack that came with the detector, got another one and also have the regular battery pack...so I have 3. One of my rechargables died out today after 48 coins, I decided to call it a day rather than walk back to car and change.

#5 I did notice you discriminate pennies/nickels out....to be honest after my break I focused a lot on pennies and had a run of over 20 in a row on the surface under a tree....ended up taking around 40-50 from that tree area about half were 0.5 to 1.0 deep....without that I would not have made it to 200! Just a thought on the pennies.


Oh and my guess...207 good luck and enjoy yourself...

Re: 200 Coin Day Mission & Contest-Prize

No pennies or nickels and 14 hours. Wow, that is hard to estimate. I'm going to say 301 just because I hope you make it there.

Good luck and don't hurt yourself.
