Another Milestone and Another Rung

[cwilk]

Today I hit the break even point with my rechargeable batteries. That also includes the cost of the charger so next set the break even point will come a lot quicker. Here is the amazing part. 191.5 hours. 73 hunts. Exactly 5000 clad coins! Not one more, not one less. Clad total for that period was $554.94. I started with rechargeables on 4/21/08.

Onto today's digs. I was already to come home and make the post that I never seem to find a ring on Friday. Last target was the 925 pentacle ring. Witchy isn't it? Also of note the big "diamond" bracelet which was my second target of the day. I sure wish it was real. Zinc cent with a hole in it and a Chuck E Cheese token from 1994. My first for that chain. Also an nifty old hose nozzle.

71 clad coins. Oh yeah I passed 2000 dimes for 2008 too.

CONGRATS on your milestoneThings have been really slow for me, been hunting old yards in search of old coins. Guess I"ll have to get back on the clad wagon. I have yet to hit 1000 coins but I'm getting close.

Title should read Another Ring as you might have suspected. I keep thinking I need to get back to some of my silver coin sites. I know one of them has been discovered by a fellow treasure hunter. He called me to tell me he found a silver Rosie there. I get hung up on clad and jewelry too easily. I keep forgetting that digging history is fun too. Although, every once in a while you find something really old at a more modern site.
