You be the judge on my finds!

Did I find 77 coins or 110? The 77 coins were found by the detector. The 33 coins below the folder were eye balled on the outfield of a baseball field while detecting. I ran the coil over the giant coin spill and got an overload signal! I could see them in the sunlight, sure was pretty! 8) Either way not a bad day...$8.84 in clad.

Great job! I am amazed at how much money people seem capable of losing. (Not that I'm complaining.)

That's a great day in my book! Awesome finds.

Nice bunch of coins, found detecting or picked up off the ground. Heck the ones you picked up don't need cleaned, you can use them right away. I'm sure you are going to clean the other finds before spending them. A good tumbler is a must in this hobby. I'm always picking up stuff off the ground, such as arrowheads, clay marbles, $20 bills, you name it.

Great finds, I also like to point out the same thing some one pointed out on a similar find I had about 6.00 in clad. Where are all the Nickels? Your Nickel Ratio to other coins are lower. Are we passing up Nickels because the 'tone' the same as pull tabs? Just a question to all. Anyway great job now go back and do it again

Where are all the Nickels?
Look in your pocket change. You won't find many nickels because they just aren't used as much as other coins.

Actually on the dfx the nickels usually hit on the vdi reading on my dfx around 18 or 19, even if moving coil the spread might be 16 to 24. My pulltabs usually give a broken signal or the reading pops above 24 and goes in the 26 area. So I try to dig as many nickels as I can, the other day I did have 11 nickels. I don't think I have ever had more nickels then quarters though.

Funny you mentioned finding a twenty, I just read a post where someone found a $100 bill in a cigarette pack....now I am watching them also! Also I have read about people finding money stuck to fences.

If you found all that clad in under 2.5 hours, I'd say you had the DFX smoking. No jewelry or other finds, the DFX is great on jewelry too. Or did you discriminate that out to consintrate on coins.

My machine screams on nickles (the GB-2). I contraplated on purchasing the DFX. But when I air tested it on small gold bracelets and rings that I had found with the GB-2, it wouldn't detect them. I know the DFX is a great machine, but my quest is for gold and most of the gold out there is small. So I'm still with the same machine.

I want to learn another machine, one that I can use on turf and sites with undisturbed soil. My machine works better on demos and playgrounds.

Don't remember mentioning anything about 2.5 hours on this hunt! I was out 3 hr 10 m. Funny you mentioned time though, I always keep my time and use a log. I normally average 20-25 coins an hour as long as I am not in a hunted out park. I am not afraid to hunt at anytime even though it can be bothersome with kids. If I am doing well i might still be seem during the afternoon even when park is crowded! Oh there was a small pile of junk it was at top of picture, got cut out, it included a door latch and some kind of boring nail, maybe to remove screws without heads.

Also you mention gb-2, are you referring to ground balance? If you are one of the tremendous features on the machine you passed on (the dfx) is its ability after ground balancing when you turn it on, is its ability to maintain and rebalance its self.

nice battery fund finds congrats

 

[Wasabi]

I would say 110, because you found them while detecting, whether using your detector or your eyeballs...you detected them.

GOT GAS MONEY

DFX...Great day you had...fantastic,

It simply continues to amaze me on how much clad is out there...
It just goes to show you...coins are simply not worth what they used to be. Sure they have a face value but what I am saying is...What does a quarter buy today compared to 20-40 years ago...

Very Nice Gregg,

Keep it up,

Nick

Thanks Nick and once again you are 100% right! It does not surprise me that there are so many coins. I see kids walk right by pennies. When I was a kid you could still use that penny for a gumball! Oh well kids get $20 video games by the week now, so I guess they don't need to pick up the clad on the ground anymore!

I said (if), you found all that in 2.5 hours. Now that you said those coins where found on a baseball field in 3.1 hours, that would qualify as a great day in my book. Especially hunting a baseball field.

GB-2 is the acronym for the machine I use, the Gold Bug 2 by Fisher. In a little over 3 year it has sniffed over 70 Gold finds, not counting electroplated, roll gold, gold fill, etc. All on dry land, it's hard work, but it can be done

Great Day. Had a few good clad days myself. Wouldnt matter whether or not you dug them all;you would have if you needed too.

Ant I am not familar with that detector but I know there is someone using a fisher finding over 100 coins almost every day out. But all that gold in three years! Hey that is incredible! Great work...I usually average 20-25 coins per hour, not sure why you are looking for another machine if you are finding all that gold!
