Clad Count for 2012

[buck57]

Welp, since the ground is frozen, we decided it's time to cash in on our battery money. First year detecting, and ended up with $156.01 in dirty money. Need to see about investing in a tumbler. Here's my pile, seperated out in pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and non-cashable pennies. How did everyone do this past year?? Good hunting all, Eric

Very nice clad total, Eric! :clapping:

I got a tumbler for xmas, and cashed my clad in at the bank last week.

:shocked03: Awesome Tony... Hey, what kind of tumbler did you end up getting? Would you do a before and after pic on some clad in the near future so we can see how good this machine does? Thanks, and good hunting this year thumbsup01

Nice haul, harbor freight has 3 lb tumblers for $49.99 that's the least expensive I know of.

I have to say that this year I did not keep track of the clad. Usually I do but for some reason not this year. Get yourself a tumbler, banks really like clean coins.

$263 dolllars this summer for me

$427.94 in clad give or take a few cents that were corroded away. And some older Canadian pennies that go in a seperate dish. I'm glad the credit union has a change machine to run it through. But i still roll the quarters because i'm not so sure the machine doesn't mess up sometimes. :shocked04:
Alot more quarters this year over last year ($203) because of the bigfoot sweeping up the high schools.

Good luck to everyone in 2013! May you never suffer the S.D.H.O.S. Unless it's because there's gold in your pouch.

From the land of the Bluenose.....good pile and enough for a new man toy like a tumbler. Loritone one of the best brands by the way. All the best in 2013! <;)

Got $191 in clad in 2012. :detecting:

Hey, what kind of tumbler did you end up getting?

My parents got it for me for Xmas, it's a Thumbler Model T. It seems to be well-built and does an excellent job. I am really happy with it.

Finally got around to counting:

$382.80 not counting pennies
I have about 5.5 lbs of both copper and zinc but I stopped digging zincs in August. They're heading for the nearest Coinstar.

24 Wheats and only 10 silver coins. Most of the Ag comes in the form of jewelry.
I did find 6 commemorative presidential $1 coins which always surprises me.

Look at all that free money!! <: Nice job buck57.

Metal detecting is my only hobby that I always come back with more than I started with. :peace:

[Cheap Thrills]

You did well buck57 :clapping: I didn't keep track of my clad in 2012 but pretty much all my finds last year were way below 2011's . This year is starting off slow also .Keep up the good work . :beerbuddy:
