Howdy Folks!
I went out after working on Friday evening and hit only one location. Temperature was 32 degrees, wind approx 10 to 15 MPH. Still, I visited a location that has several wood chip tot lots but only hit one because it was chilly out. That, and time was an issue. I discovered the location was fairly infested with clad coins that seemed to be in proliferation right near a tire swing. Few coins were found away from that particular spot. The location was a school playground in Brighton.

Take for that location was:
8 Quarters = $2.00
7 Nickels = $0.35
9 Dimes = $0.90
25 Pennies = $0.25
Total = $3.50
Coin Count = 49 Coins.
That hunt was only about 30 minutes.

Next morning, I started out late and finally got out in the afternoon. I hunted 3 locations and found a silver earring (925) at my first stop. Later in the day, about the time a storm started rolling in and the temprature dropped while the wind came on strong, I found a 1957 silver Rosie dime. Early in the hunt, the temperature was a fairly balmy 65 degrees with a mild breeze. I also found 2 rings on this hunt, one of which is a big honking piece of metal. The locations were in Denver and Aurora.

My take for hunt 2 was:
14 Quarters = $3.50
6 Nickels = $0.30
16 Dimes = $1.60
27 Pennies = $0.27
Total = $5.68
Coin Count = 64 Coins.

So, in under 24 hours, I got a silver earring, a silver Rosie, some foreign coins, a movie theatre token, 2 rings, and a few oddities. Both hunts were using my MXT Pro!

24 hour total:
22 Quarters = 5.50
13 Nickels = $0.65
25 Dimes = $2.50
53 Pennies = $0.53
Total = $9.18
Coin Count = 113 Coins

And I'm back to work today for 4 hours!
Maybe I'll try Brighton again!

Blessings,
M-Taliesin

Howdy Snicks!
It's all about having fun. I tend to consider clad a bonus.
I'm in it for the silver and gold! LOL!
But I enjoy the hunt itself, and the fun of finding stuff.

Howdy Pardner!
Bark Rats:huh::huh: That's the funniest thing I've heard all day long. Considering I just got up about 10 minutes ago, I'd guess I ain't heard that much so far this morning, but still... that's barking hilarious! Bark Rats! Mind if I use that one myself? That's funny right there. Don't care who ya are, that's funny!

Howdy Larry!
I hit the Rosie on the actual tot lot, right at the bottom of a slide in wood chips.
No grass hunting, as I ain't healed up enough to knee on ground yet so still stuck
with wood chip lots.

Hopefully, in another week or two, I'll be back on my knees and fetching old coins
more regular like, but right now, I just ain't there.

Thanks for asking. Good question.

Blessings,
