[QUOTE="Clad the Impaler, post: 1966590, member: 71684"]Hi again. I've tried plastic diggers. Unfortunately, they don't work as well as my trusty Lesche. Sometimes it is due to another metal object (such as a nail) near the coin. My detector has a tendency to occasionally "lock onto" the junk object (instead of the coin) when trying to pinpoint. This is especially prominent with old, rusty iron (e.g. nails). As for not digging w/ my fingers, I wear gloves, though this didn't prevent the neck of a broken glass liquor bottle from becoming wedged under my fingernail once (yeah, it hurt). Year by year silver coin totals: 2009: 0 2010: 17 2011: 86 (new high end detector :) ) 2012: 80 2013: 77 2014 (so far) ***estimate*** 25 Plus a few gold jewelry pieces and lots of silver ones too :) Clad estimate has to be in the $500-$800 range (average $5-$10 per outing w/ some outings brining in over $20 :) ) Then there's the marbles and relics...[/QUOTE]
