<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 8182279, member: 78298&quot;]Milestones</p><p>Now that there is a slow down (pandemic, locked sites) I record all my hunts so I was just browsing over some milestones. Now I get to brag. (J/k I am not a boastful person and no one is more shocked and surprised than I am at the success I have had, when you consider the types of sites I am hunting.) I did it in Colorado in the mid 90&#039;s but my results were poor. (Those numbers not added in to these.) And I did it a little out here in 2000/2001 but the brain of my rig was fried and I had to trash it. Even though this is the start of my 7th year, on a linear time line it&#039;s 5 1/2 years from June 2016 - Jan 2022. Saturday I found 1 nickel and that made 3000.</p><p>Halves and dollar coins combined I hit 150. Silver and gold combined is 100. I passed 32,000 targets and most of those were 14,000+ pennies. But I am over 5600 dimes and over 7600 quarters and that stuff adds up. It&#039;s always a thrill when you pop out a silver ring or a dollar coin. 129 foreign coins, almost 1100 junk jewelry, over 250 miscellaneous, 235 arcade tokens, (and similar), only 64 wheaties. 9 silver coins included in the 100.</p><p>Almost $3000 in cash. Just $57 of that in bills. 16 pieces with fake precious metal stamps. 7 plated. 20 other (tungsten, stainless steel rings and other quality rings that are not made with precious metals.) I&#039;ve cashed in most of the quarters and all the pennies. I need to dump the nickels and dimes. No fee at my credit union for using their machine. I will be saving the &quot;treasures&quot; halves, dollar coins, silver, gold, and some other pieces I like.</p><p>And of course there have been a number of coins that I have saved, older, or good condition nickels. (30&#039;s 40&#039;s 50&#039;s). 2009 nickels and dimes. A nice off center dime. I thought it was just MAD (misaligned die strike, until I realized the reverse was also off.) A handful of older foreign coins. A couple of nice medallions. Lindbergh and GW Bush, photos in the thread. A number of pennies, memorial cents with terrific luster, a 1960-D large date gold plated, etc. Also a gold plated quarter. It&#039;s fun to get out and find things, and it&#039;s good exercise. You have to do something. I may be nearing the end and it will be back to the golf course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
