Depends on the site. This time of year when my favorite spots (old farm sites and gathering places) are planted in corn or beans, I have to hunt some of the more modern "popular" places. In many of these sites, I can dig anywhere from 5 - 25 targets per hour. The majority of which is clad. Once harvest is here and I can get back into the fields, I'll more likely pull one or two good targets per hour. But those targets are usually Seated and Barber silver, and IH cents. Frankly, I'd rather hunt all day and find a few oldies, compared to filling my pocket with clad. Quality not quantity. But that is JMHO. HH Randy
I agree it depends on where you are hunting.
I have had days that i pulled probably 10-15 coins in an hour,
and days i only pulled two maybe.
Sometimes in parks i just hunt quarters and nothing else.
Just challenges i guess.

I've never kept track of clad before. My clad gets tossed into a big Garrett green plastic goldpan and cleaned up at the end of the year.
The clad doesn't interest me at all, even if I am finding predominantly quarters. In fact, I consider the newer coins a nuisance, especially the zinc pennies. The older coins, tokens, jewelry items and relics are of interest, because they are ..... well, interesting.
The one exception, one of the local ski resorts had a soda machine at a lift house at mid-mountain. When I used to hunt the ski slopes a lot in the heat of the summer, nothing was better than digging out the clad quarters and feeding the soda machine a few bucks and getting an ice cold coke-a-cola or two. I'm sure whoever collected the coins out of that machine was none too pleased with the brown quarters.

Varies by site.
But we hunted an outdoor swim club last season that had a concession stand and picnic areas - spent a lot of time there over the winter - a solid ( 12 ) clad coins per hour average.

I find on average this year 9 total coins per hours, which includes silver, wheaties etc. If you take the clad out and just average the silver and wheaties, it runs about 3 an hour. TMAN...
