After each of my detecting outings I throw my clad into a plastic bin that I have on my work bench. It's been about 19 months, but it finally filled up and it is time to take it to the bank. Fortunately, the credit union I am a member of has a coin counting machine that we can use for free. (Basically it's a Coinstar with no fees).

I was looking at the pile of clad and trying to guess how much it would total. That's when I thought that it would be kind of fun and interesting to see how close someone could come to guessing how much is there.

So, here is a contest. Take a look at the pictures below of the pile of clad. Come up with your best guess as to how much it will total, and respond to this thread with your answer. Please, only one guess per person. I will take all guesses that are given before Tuesday, 10-07-14 at 11:59 pm, PST. Whoever comes closest to the actual total amount will get a little prize. I'll send the winner a few older coins, including a 1914s Barber dime, a 1901 Liberty head "V" nickel, and an 1898 Indian head penny. Nothing of significant value, but this is just for fun anyway.

I know in the pile there are a few dollar coins. Otherwise it's quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies including zincs.

And here is what I'll send the winner.

I realise the contest is over but wanted to throw a number out there before I look at the total. $348.32
 

You know it's a good contest when people still play after it's over. :)
 

this was too cool, i hope i catch one of these in action to guess, i asked my GF she thought they were full size towels and said $3000ish...lol
 

Just found this thread...I guessed $505 before I read the answer...so Im not mad I missed the contest because I would have lost...we need more contests.
 

Welll I'm glad that everyone seemed to enjoy this contest. Although I haven't been a member of Tnet for too long, I have been a long time user and have never seen anyone have a contest. In fact, before I had posted this one I asked the mods if it'd be ok and if there was any rule against it.

Hopefully some other users can come up with some sort of fun contests now and then. I'm considering having another one, but if I do it will be next year sometime. This time though I will make sure I have a more enticing prize.
