Wheat to Silver ratio help...

[Cheap Thrills]

About 5 to 1 .

I'm rather new at this hobby. Been at it for about 6 months now.

So far I have found about 35 Wheat Pennies and no silver coins.

I guess that would make my ratio about a Gazillion To Zip. :grin:

308 wheaties : 46 silver coins (Not counting war nickles)=6.69
So about a 7:1 ratio
Good thread! thumbsup01
I never would've tried to figure it out lol

My ratio? huh 0-0 :beatdeadhorse:

Hoping that will soon change, first detector in five years is on it's way :happydance01:

I've never kept track, but I'd guess mine is about 8:1 (wheats to silver).

Like others, I've always used wheats as an indication that I'm in the right area for silver. Early last year, I moved to the Vegas area and had an entire park system to learn. Finding a wheat tells me that there was activity there in the past, and it's worth spending a lot more time detecting.

I usually run about 7-1, if you count war nickels.

UPDATE:

I just did a count for the past couple of months and we have 117 wheats and 15 silvers, counting 2 war nickels. That's 7.8 - 1.

I don't know how some of you guys get less than 5 - 1. :dontknow:
