Hi all, I just finished counting the Dimes I have found at beaches and parks while Metal Detecting over the past 7 years. The total was 1794 Dimes With the sum of $179.40 This count does not include my silver and damaged finds.
If you missed Thread #1 with the Quarters total... Here it is - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/quarters-metal-detecting-totals-thread-1.307878/#post-2943504
Nice! Before you know it you will be able to justify to your wife why you spent so much on the Minelab.
How many of these are silver versus worthless? I've only metal detected a few times, but my dad was crazy about it when I was in high school. One time, we went to the plantation owned by the guy that "Rhett Butler" from "Gone with the Wind" was based off of. The plantation is a few miles from my house. We found this coin, quite a bit more modern than ole Rhett, but still quite cool:
@paddyman98 - That is GREAT!! What are you going to do with it? Anything special? Did you find any silver dimes in all those years?
My wife and I are going to start rolling them up to take to my bank. I have found a few silver Quarters and Dimes.. They are not part of the count. I might do a thread just on the silver finds in the near future!
