I started keeping track of the coins I found with my detector in 2002. Since that time I have dug 18,787 coins. Unless It snows thru July I will reach the 20,000 coin mark some time this year.

For a prize (TBD) pick the day that I will hit the 20,000 mark and, just for fun, guess what the 20,000th coin will be.

One guess per person. entries will be will close out at the end of April.

Get your guesses in.

My guess is July 5th, for no reason other than it is my birthday For fun, I guess it will be a 1942 Mercury Dime.

i'll do the same...my birthday July 15 and I think it will be a standard abe penny.

Aug 8th ---- 1965 quarter

Oh my. 19 THOUSAND coins!? Wow.

I guess September 1st with a Wheatie

Well you said if it doesnt snow...so I'm going to guess maybe October 22nd, and it will be a nice good ol penny

BA, you need to guess a date.

Here are some numbers that might help you with your guess. Or they might just throw you off.

I dug 5055 coins last year.
Im already over 150 coins behind last years pace.
I was off work for 3 months last year(I don't plan a repeat)
I do have 2 weeks vacation in July.

I will allow you to edit your posts during the April guessing period but once we hit May 1st the guesses are final.

On the day you do it, of course.

September 14th-ish.

September 9
A penny

15 August, a penny

I'll start updating the totals in May.

I'm screwed

3750+ coins per year (since 2002), only so many months each year that are good for searching. (Remember, he's in Tonawanda, NY!) I think the odds are pretty good that he will get to 20,000 by the end of June. You just picked a Friday, at least I went with Saturday, but I think you're in the ballpark.

Aug. 12th.

The coin will be from 1980, probably a dime.

lol. excellent reasoning. I know I picked the date for a reason. I forgot that 3750 was his yearly rate. Hmm. I guess there still is hope. Thanks, Topher! Too bad you're totally right about the Friday/Saturday thing

June 17th and you will find a 1963 Dime

You don't know my work schedule? I work 4 days a week......Thursday, friday, Saturday and Sunday.
My "weekend' starts on monday.

Yeah, but you're calling in "sick" on June 23rd.

First update.

18,838

1,162 to go

Update.
18,787 + 115 = 18,902

1,098 to go.

50+ coins in ~10 days. 1100 to go. That's a long way to go timewise. yikes.

Pick up the pace, Dock!

Only 2 coins today but one was my first silver of 2007.
A 1943 Washington Quarter.

The '46 is the one I found in the CoinStar last month and the '42 my son brought me from his change at work.
