Wheat to Silver Coin ratio?

[hbeaton]

Just curious for those who keep track or otherwise remember this sorta thing. For each silver coin you find in an area how many wheats do you have in relation?

For me, it seems that its roughly 10:1 however that seems high.

Thoughts?

HH!

So far this year it is 139:41

So roughly 3.5:1

If you add my 40 indian heads into these numbers, it goes to roughly 4.5 old pennies per each silver found.

If I check houses its about 3 to 1. My average is 10 to 1.

for this year so far I am 2.8 wheats for every silver coin, been very fortunate!

33 wheat to 4 silver = 8.25 to 1

Believe it or not I found all of the silver with a Chinese made "Treasure Cove Model 1023" that I bought for $80. I found $65 in coins with it and then sold it for $80. That financed my Ace. I bought the 1023 on closeout at "Tuesday Morning". It was a fun little machine.

I average about 4.5 to 1, this year I am at 53 silver, 48 indians and about 240-250 wheats

Since Jan. 2010 I have 64 silver coins and 248 wheat pennies. 248 divided by 64 = 3.8 , so its about 4 wheats for every silver.
