We need more threads! At 43.75 coins per dig based on your 112 digs, by my calculations, you are not meeting anywhere near the number of posts & threads here that we are expecting of you in order to be accurately documenting your great finds!

BTW, I have a call in to the executive producer over at "Duck Dynasty" (she's a second cousin) with a show pitch called "Detecting and Discovering Rare But Buried Numismatics" .

The concept is akin' to "Alaskan Gold" meets "Ice Road Truckers" meets "Top Shot" except in our show nothing breaks down and you find a rare, long-lost piece of American and European Numismatic History within 2-3 inches below sod without any heavy equipment such as a 500 hp Rock Shaker that never works on " Alaskan Gold " even though you live in New Hampshire, 'The Granite State' named that as it refers to its extensive granite formations and quarries found there.

Wadda u think?

    Haha, You guys have actually been overloaded with PCGS69's finds threads this year. Figured you all had enough! I'm sure I can track down some older ones this year and break out some favorites from previous years if you'd like.

    Most of those 43.75 coins per outing were just zincolns, nickels, dimes, and some quarters. Some were wheat cents, and a few silver coins mixed in.

    You're onto something with the show idea! People finding real things without breaking out the excavator, or none of the "oh, man, it's a rusted nail... wait... the rust of coming off... it's a ROLEX!" One thing is there's a lot of down time with regular people detecting. It took me 4 hours to pick out the WLH, Barber dime and WTN - a combined value of about $20. Certainly different from the $5,000 those fake detecting BOOM BABY people find. Some of the relic hunters out there pull some nice colonial relics which would be cool to watch.

    If the "Boom Babys" were hunting where you are they wouldn't let a little frozen ground stop them. They would just fill some barrels with wood, light'm, melt the ground and dig up those silver dollars. image

    Great idea Coinboy..... and PCGS69, you have had an awesome year. Mine, not so good... pulled out of retirement and missed the whole summer - did no cache hunting at all, and had picked out some interesting sites. Oh well, spring is coming and I should be retired again shortly. Cheers, RickO

    Haha, if you break it out, it doesn't seem that exciting.

    1.46 Silver coins per trip
    4.78 Wheat Cents per trip
    1.21 Other Old coins per trip such as buffalo nickels, IHCs, LCs, etc
    .08 gold per trip!

    I disagree- those sound like pretty respectable stats to me!
