Message:: [QUOTE="Michael K, post: 26621751, member: 78298"]TY  <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/lordmarcovan.10461/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/lordmarcovan.10461/">lordmarcovan</a> In the mid 1990's we lived in Colorado and I did it for a couple of years without much success. 86 hunts 678 targets around $45 in finds. Had 1 good hunt. My best finds were 4 silvers, 2 rings an earring and a piece of broken bracelet. A half dollar, and a 5 dollar bill, which was sitting on the ground in the exact spot where I found one of the rings. Also 5 or 6 wheaties. When we moved to NM, I went out around 2000 or 2001 and pulled my first dollar coin (SBA). But my rig was fried and I fig I wouldn't be doing it anymore. Around 2016 she says why don't you do that again? (I took her out a few times and she found some cool stuff.) So I order a new rig and it sits in the box for a while and then I think I started around June 2016. Out here, the totals are better over 43,500 targets. Over $3700 and more than that in gold and silver. True it's mostly pennies, almost 17,000 but there's almost 3600 nickels, almost 7000 dimes over 9800 quarters. 39 halves one a Franklin and the other a 1967. 161 dollar coins 4 NIFCs I think, and 3 Ikes. 12 golds and 123 silvers, some of them cross indexed with the nickels, dimes, quarters and halves. There's also some cool non precious metal stuff, tungsten rings (they never tarnish and don't need to be polished) and some stainless steel rings as well as some other stuff, $60 in cash, pressed coins, a buff nickel, 78 wheaties etc. Here's the tungsten on the left:[ATTACH=full]1697395[/ATTACH]A few more since this photo.[ATTACH=full]1697396[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
