I don't normally post my clad findings but yesterday I was wandering around until I came to a new site. Both new to me and relatively new in time of existence. It was big and I really wasn't expecting to find too much because I figured every detectorist must stop here. It wasn't long before I was laughing to myself as I couldn't swing the detector without getting a hit. Sadly it was all clad except for one slightly bent silver ring but the numbers made it fun. These are the results for yesterday and today morning only hunts (and yesterday's was short because I didn't get there until about 9:30 AM. The first three lines are yesterday's results and the rest is from this morning.
Total: 71 quarters, 50 dimes, 1 lonely nickel and 41 pennies (and not one wheat amongst them).
163 coins for a total of $23.21

My son Matt (Z118) would have a grand time at this site.

I'm willing to bet that people who have been detecting for a while probably had hunts like this and it was all silver. :daydream:

Thanks for looking.

Sweet total on the clad!!! Now you just need to go back and get those nickels you missed. rofl
Did you dig all the close nickle signals? I get them all around the 12-13 numbers. Some are 13-12 some 12-14, 11-14,12-12. Five times better than digging a penney in my opinion. :yes:

Congrats on the nice ring too!

Wow. That is a lot of clad. I doubt that I could dig that much. My back would have been out probably around the fifty first coin. With that much clad you should be getting some rings. Keep it up, in about 3 months you should get enough to buy another detector. :)

That's like a dream site to me... I'd hunt that all day long. The only difference is I'd dig the nickels, and God willing, the gold (lol).

Congrats on a heck of a haul.

I don't know what it is with me and nickels. I could swear that I'm not detecting them but from what you are both saying, I must be missing them. :thinkingabout: I'll tune up my ears on my next visit.

And thanks everyone for taking the time to post.
Happy hunting!
