2,167 coins (2.5hr) 17 pounds

Went out today at the carp hole for 2.5 hours. I was in 3-4 feet of water. Got smarter this time and brought back 3 buckets of coin/gravel mix to sort when I got back. Still did some sorting as I was going.

Quarters 180
Dimes 346
Nickels 205
Pennies 1436

Total 2167 $104.21

Year to date total 14,927 coins $864.00

I got one 1998 Canadian dime that stuck out visibly...What are they made of? Looks similar to silver, but I don't think it is.

3 more rings out of here today but all junk...In 5 years of detecting I have yet to find my first gold ring, but with @15,000 coins and over 1,000 good relics I can't complain.

Hmmmmmm,,,,,, If you can earn over $104 in 2.5 hours; that equates to well over $300 per 8-hour day (almost $42/hr)..... TAX FREE! Not a bad income.

Really enjoy how you are keeping track of every single coin.... and a running count!

Feel fortunate; Canadian dimes & quarters are nickel-plated steel!!! Take a magnet to your Canadian dime.

Just curious, I may have missed the post, but how in the world are you coming up with these coins? Are you using a dredge or what? TMAN...

I am using a large stainless steel water scoop. I then throw the contents onto a floating sifter to pick out the coins from the stone and gravel. It is a unique area on a lake. When I first found it I was getting upset as my detector kept going off on overload...I thought it was a large piece of metal, only to find out it was so many coins that it was overloading. I am working about a 20 foot square area. I started when lake was lowered for a week when I found it and now am working in 3-4 feet of water. 2.5 hours of constant digging and sorting is about all I can stand for one day. I am the only one who has permission to hunt it and it is not accessible from the main lake as it has structures around it.

Is this person still detecting?????

I've read some other related post-hmm, very interesting to say the least.

One year I lived in a rich area the parks were loaded with money and bling. I recovered 2,000.00 in one year and had a five gallon sparklets bottle filled with coins. I use to love parks

If you don’t dig it, then how are you going to know what you’re missing!
