    $100 mark

    I have finally made it to the $100 mark in my first full year. I've learned a lot about this hobby from this forum and just putting in a lot of hours swinging. Thanks for looking and happy hunting

    Great milestone. Quotas add up and nothing to sneeze at!

    Only if we had $2 coins here in the U.S.
    Our yearly "quotas"would be even sweeter!

    Congrats on reaching the $100 mark!
    I've been keeping track of my yearly totals since I started detecting in '09. It's been pretty consistent for me.
    I usually end up around $120-$130.
    But I'm usually targeting old coins and the clad is just what comes along, along the way.
    At the end of the year I tumble all my clad, turn it in at the bank for paper money, and give it to mama to spend on herself.
    Kind of a payment for time to swing.

    ​Oldest coin: ​70 B.C. "Harlow Flyer" gold qtr. Stater
    Oldest U.S. coin: 1814 Capped Bust Dime
