totalled my clad from 3 months MD'ing..
clad totals to date...
337 quarters?
265 dimes
117 nickels
$116.60 + around $10 in the tumbler yet....
hundreds of pennies....didnt count yet....
Also a pic of the nice silver cross I found today.
Update: FYI
Actually...I have been "plucking" most of my finds, up to 3" deep.
I probe with an ice pick to find the coin and then swing the pick in a circle to open up the soil, and work the coin out using my index finger and the pick. It takes practice, but achieves many positive results.
1. Saves time
2. Greatly reduces turf disruption/damage-especially in dry conditions.
3. Allows you to "work" manicured turf such as Ball diamonds or soccer fields.
4. Generates no negative perception from observers- the spot is virtually invisible when done.
Of course it goes without saying that the soil has to be "almost" rock free, which most ballparks are.(topsoil) With practice, you can tell stone from a coin by the sound and feel.
