Best-Kept Secrets To Finding Treasure – #6
Published by Larry on Tagged Coin shooting, Record Keeping
There are more coins lost than in circulation today! Throughout history there are more coins lost than in circulation. Imagine the possibilities as a treasure finder. If someone would have told me in 1969 that I could find 153,000 coins with metal detectors, I would have laughed out loud. I am a believer in the law of attraction, but my first year’s finds was only 1,283 coins with my trusty Metaford BFO unit. Statisical estimates for coins lost just in America during the first fifty years of the 20th century range from one hundred million to more than one hundred fifty million. What excites me is that a single coin found, could be valuable enough to pay for a lifetime of treasure equipment, and it is common to find several dollars worth of change in a single day. I have had several days where I have found more than 200 coins. My best day was 244. My best month was 2300 and my best year’s total was 8,231. Many have superseded these totals. One prominent lady in the hobby, who was a full time treasure finder, dug more than a million coins in her career. I hear the chatter of individuals saying that all the good stuff has been found and that all the good spots have been cleaned out. Pay close attention to secret number seven as we debunk this kind of talk.

Is amazing my friend, I don´t know there is a lot of money underground, I have a little time in the metal detection business but is really good all the stuff I can find.
The best thing I found is a Gold Relique of my family in my grandma’s backyard.
But is good to know that there is a whole world of treasure waiting for us.

Welcome Alejandro! I have dug more than 153,000 coins, 450 gold rings and over 1500 silver and gold jewelry pieces and over 85% of that has been dug within 30 miles of my home. There is a wealth of finds for us to dig. A little research goes a long way in finding treasure.
