Wheat to Silver ratio help...

[jkress]

Hi folks,

I am interested in some data from you all.

I would like to see if there is a general ratio of how many wheats everyone digs to silver.

There are variances to any statistic I realize this, but I would love to see if there is a general average amongst us treasure hunters.

My wheat count for the year was 478 and my silver count was 101.

So the number I am looking for is wheat count divided my silver count.

My number would be 4.73

If you could, please post your wheat/silver ratio number.

I am very interested (since it's winter here ) what everyone else's is.

Thank you very much for participating. I know, I know... I have been described as obsessive compulsive on more than one occasion. lol

Mine was about. 5 to 1. 56 wheats to 12 silvers (im counting war nickels (4) ).

[Dimeman]

Last year I dug 39 wheats and 72 silver coins.
All but 6 of the wheats were dug from the middle of Sept to the end of the year. The silver all year.
I had one of my detectors repaired in the summer and it read correctly on coin signals afterward.

[Jeff (or)]

Interesting question, I have noticed that my ratio runs about 5 to 1 also.

[Evan/tn]

I found a whopping five silver coins last year
and a small hand full of wheats
Make it 7 to 1

That is a very, very nice ratio there Dimeman.

....... I counted war nickels too.

Thanks for posting your numbers everyone. I appreciate it. thumbsup01

If it's a hammered spot the ratio is low but if it's a spot where detectorist's haven't been hammering the ration probably would be closer to 5:1

[Carver]

My ratio over the years is right at 4 wheats to 1 silver

[Bell-Two]

My ratio is about 10 to 1 I don't know why that high maybe the people around here were too poor to carry much silver. lol or maybe it is because I had several double digit wheat days that skews the count....or gasp maybe I am just now learning to understand the silver signals not complaining of course. My last three hunts turned up 4 silvers including a Barber dime.

It's just a matter of luck if you ask me.

[wingmaster]

Mine would probably be 10 to 1 if I'm lucky which I'm not so its probably worse than that. Yep I think its luck because when I do real good on silver then I'll go for awhile without finding any, thats my luck catching up with me.

190 wheats and 44 silvers = 4:1 ratio.

[angellionel]

My number is 1.87

[russellt]

ive always heard where theres wheat theres silver.... sometimes thats true and sometimes it aint . last year2010, i got 64 wheatys and 14 silver coins. so roughly between 4 or5 to 1.hi-eva in 2009 i got 97 wheats and 12 silvers so thats about 9 or 10 to 1.


location , location , location that and a little luck and a litttle skill.. all i can tell ya is it varies

[randy]

This year 122 silvers and 292 wheats = 2.39.

[dave in iowa]

317 wheats, 63 silvers , i think its about 5-1 5.03

[li tom]

Mine last year is 183 silver coins to 820 wheats close to 4.5 to 1.This is close to my ratio in my 4 and a half years detecting.

[jkress]

Wow...thanks for logging your stats everyone.

4-5 wheats to every silver seems to be slightly more common so far.

I am a bit surprised at Angel's ratio... I figured yours was probably closer to 4-5 silvers for every wheat. rofl

Thanks again and if anyone else would like to post their ratio... please do so.

I wish that were the case! lol
