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 :rolleyes: ) 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

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

....... I counted war nickels too. :yes:

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
 
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 :embarrassed: not complaining of course. My last three hunts turned up 4 silvers including a Barber dime.
 
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.
 
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
 
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.
 
Wow...thanks for logging your stats everyone. :clapping:

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.
