Contest: Tumbled Clad Guess

[Carolina Tom]

We have a winner DoToChina with a guess of $26.01 was closest without going over.



Congrats to all and thanks for playing!


Contest ends Saturday 12.16 @ 8:00PM

Fine print:
Guess the amount that CoinStar gave me, less their take. One guess per person. Closest without going over.

I throw the pouch contents in a jar in the garage. Periodically I tumble it and dump it in the CoinStar. Here is a pic of the dirty quart.



Here are the cleaned coins.



Here is a picture of the film-flam that also got tumbled. I obviously don’t sort the pouch very well.



Here is the silver quarter that will be awarded to the winner.



Good luck and thanks for playing.

Woohoo!

I was just trying to bug tpmetal by going a couple of cents higher than he was (sorry tp) but apparently it's a good thing Davers doesn't know how to use a computer (just kidding Davers (not kidding [emoji6])).

Thank you Tom for the fun contest. Instead of sending a quarter to Canada which is a pain, how about you keep the quarter for another future contest and promise to take me out detecting when I find myself in the Carolinas?

Thanx that was fun Tom.

388 pennies and 12 nickels... how many gold rings did you leave behind as a result of not wanting to dig pull tabs... LOL

You are exactly correct. I am a bit "high strung" and I get mad when I get a bunch of pulltabs. I took me almost two years to dig a buffalo nickel because of this issue. I was doing better, but have slipped back into the "high tone zone". I will work on it. Did you not notice the half dollar on there? I figured people would ask about that.

Laziness, is the most probable answer. I will get a gift card next, and recoup more of my investment. Thx!
