We hunted for only an hour in the evening to avoid the hot afternoon temps. A soccer field not far from home was the destination. Did OK for the short time we were there, getting 23 clad coins worth $3.90. Best find was the 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coin.

Nice evening haul, Ed. Never found a Susan B in many years of detecting.

Watch out for those evening mosquitoes 🦟
Thanks Jim......I've found maybe 5 or 6 in my 37 years of detecting......They're not as common as the Sacagawea or Presidents. They were minted for only 4 years.
 
That's a nice haul for a short outing. Heat of summer puts me out either early in the day or in the evenings after it cools a bit also. Trapper
 
How much moolah do you average in a week ? I need to start counting ours.

If it's a normal week....Saturday two hours by myself and Sunday two and a half hours Sue and I ......the AVERAGE is around $15.00. This is down from a few years back when we were pulling $25-30.
I make a sheet for each of us to keep a running total of our coins as individual coins, total coins, and face value of the clad coins. 2015 was our best year and the amounts we're finding now are lower but still very good.
