Ok. Since October I have been paid twice to look for property markers. I got 15 once and 20 another time. Yesterday an older farmer asked me if I could go to his fathers old homesite and MD it for him. The catch is that he wants me to give him EVERYTHING I find. Even the coins. I understand. Lots of sentimental value.
He said he would pay me the value of whatever a coin is. Seriously what would you charge for say a 1905 IH? I dug three IHs on the edge of the road while a guy watched me last month. He wanted to give me 5 bucks for each one. He even offered me a twenty!! I kept em since I am now turned into a coin collector from MDin and thought they would be rare finds. Ive found at least 15 more since. So I shoulda sold em I guess.
Whats a fair hourly rate?? 8 bucks an hour plus payment for finds??
I dont wanna be greedy with the guy. Being generous with my finds to homeowners has got me some great spots to hunt.
