Default Does anyone sell their finds?

Hi,

Does anyone sell their finds, or do you all collect them?

Kind Regards,

Colin

I've been "selling" my clad to the bank for new dollar coins. My intent is to put them into circulation so people can lose them! Everything else is on display or in a box.

I don't sell very many.....there again, I don't find very many!

Seriously though, I don't generally sell my finds.

Kind Regards,

Like everyone here, I suppose, I turn my clad in when I have a good enough amt... and yes, I do sell stuff - usually gold jewelry - either if it doesn't fit or what-not...

I spend all of my clad or put it aside to tumble. I haven't sold anything else, my coins are mixed in with other coins that I've collected, valuable ones are in my safe and jewelry gets put into ziplock bags and are in a drawer, except for what my wife has laid claim to . And the other non coin or jewelry finds are in those plastic drawers.

so far I've got almost a full jar of clad... when i find something special - especially the FIRST thing i find thats special - I'm keepin' it!! Like all girls, I really just want something sparkley to wear.
Does everyone keep their first special find..? A part of me hopes so.

I recycle my clad and keep the older coins, silver and jewelry.

Yep. Was a 14k large Wedding Band. Found it on a public beach. My girlfriend at the time was with me and watched me dig it up. Asked me if she could have it....., I looked up at her and... . I loved her,,,, but NOT THAT MUCH...

I no longer have her, but I do the ring......

I have sent some items to a refiner to be melted. The rest I hold onto. I give some away to family and friends.
