I suppose I could have bought a few pizzas with it.....but that wouldn't "feel" right. I do this because I want coins.....preferably old coins....but sometimes the hoards of clad are masking older and deeoer coins. Until you clear the riff raff...you don't have a chance of detecting older and deeper coins in an area that's seen use for decades. You have to get rid of the trash first...in whatever form......can slaw...clad....pull tabs....whatever. That stuff will often mask the older and deeper coins if there are any there.
People who would leave a spot just becasue it's full of modern money.....I guess I just don't quite know what to make of that. I will leave a spot that has only a few modern coins to try and get to a spot that has silver....but if I find myself in clad heaven.....I'll go get a bigger pouch!
