I can't really say, all I ever did with my clad coins is spend the decent ones and seperate the cruddy ones to tumble one of these days.

I never kept track of any totals until I joined this forum, (a great resource) I still don't keep track of my daily totals but do keep a cumulative total in my signature.

I also go to competition hunts and get alot of silver coins and do count them at the time just to compare with others there, but don't really remember a specific number, but I've gotten somewhere over 100 one day at a hunt, which I never got at any other time, so that would be my best amount for any day, but I really don't count that.

I don't know the high total (although not in the same league as some of the other guys and ladies on this forum) ...but one important stat that I like to mention - is that I've never come home without at least ONE coin...and that's important to me

I normally go hunting during my lunch time and sometimes only get a half hour in. There have only been a couple of days (all from this tiny park) that all I found was trash. One of these days I'm really going to clean out one area, but under the trees tends to get too wet and that's where all the trash is.

Oh, yeah, what was the most I've found in one hunt? Don't laugh, but I think one of my highest days was a couple of dollars, but something like between 10 and 15 coins. Not anywhere NEAR any of the pros, here.
