I just finished my 17th year of detecting. I am a little different and do not go by calendar years but by actual years. I started detecting May 2, 2002 so my years end April 30. This year was my second best year money wise. I found $851.68 in coins. My first year I only found $226.07. 2 years ago I had my best year with $1232.80.
My last hunt was on campus and it was a real penny kind of day. The section I started in I couldn’t swing the coin more than 2 times without a coin signal and sometimes I had 2 or 3 hits in the same swing. Unfortunately most of the signals were pennies. In 4.5 hours I dug 197 coins and 164 of them were pennies and most of those were zincs. Nothing special just coins and the usual junk. I was detecting up among the buildings on campus and away from the sport fields for a change and a number of people asked what I was finding. I did get 2 leads that might lead to some future good finds. The first was a student who lost an important family ring during a snowball fight on campus. He threw the snowball and the ring went too. I gave me a rough idea of where it was lost and I got his name and number so I can return it if I get lucky.
The next was an older student (in his 40s) who asked for my card. He has a house about 12 miles east of campus that was built in the early 1800s and he has been looking for someone to detect the property. He is curious about what might come out of the ground and I have no problem sharing my finds. He says the property was used as a business and farm so there is a lot of potential. But you don’t know until you start swingin.
I will post a year end summary of my finds as soon as I can put the statistics together. I have everything in my log book, I just have to count things up.
Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
