2015 was my first year detecting. I feel like I've come a long way since I received my F2 in early May. As I've stated before, I'm a stats guy. So, in lieu of reposting pictures of my finds, I thought I would post some of my totals.
Clad - Total $169.63
2 Dollars
434 Quarters
417 Roosevelts
127 Jeffersons
1108 Lincolns
10 Silver Coins
1 Barber Quarter
5 Roosevelts
4 Mercurys
Other coins of note included a V nickel and 53 Wheat pennies. I also found 6 MS Sales Tax Tokens and 6 foreign coins.
My top 10 oldest coins
1907 Barber Quarter with the F2
1910 Wheat Penny with the Tejon
1910 V Nickel with the Tejon
1915 Netherlands Penny with the F44
1916d Wheat Penny with the F75
1917 Mercury Dime with the F75
1919 Wheat Penny with the F75
1920 Wheat Penny with the F75
1925 Wheat Penny with the F75
1925 Mercury Dime with the F75
Jewelry
3 Gold Rings
3 Silver Rings
1 Locket
Relics
1 Silver Spoon
3 3-Ringers
1 2-Ringer
2 Round Balls
1 Bridle Rosette
1 Skeleton Key
2 Pocket Knives
Here is a break down of totals per machine. Fair conclusions would be hard to draw from these numbers as I acquired the machines at different times and their usage was not equal in time or in quality of locations. For instance, I used the F2 exclusively from May to July at which time I bought the F75. Then, I mainly used the F75. The Tejon only got used in fields or used behind the F75 whereas the GF60 was only used in parks. For 2016, I have started tracking the number of trips and the hours used for each machine, which will help, but will still not be fair because of how I use the machines as just stated with the comparison of the Tejon usage versus the GF60 usage. Anyway...
