REACHED MY TARGET
« on: January 28, 2012, 23:36 »
  ;)

Well I've finally reached my goal of $5,000 with the detector. Last weeks haul of $115.00 put me over the line. Can't remember exactly when I started, but probably at the same time I joined this forum. A  big shout out to all that have helped with advice, company and detector repairs. Here is the tale of the tape. 

Date   Amount Deposited in the bank      
15/10/2010   $960      
15/11/2010   $260      
31/01/2011   $520      
1/04/2011   $630      
28/04/2011   $450      
27/05/2011   $362      
24/06/2011   $491      
25/07/2011   $263      
28/12/2011   $660      
24/01/2012   $368      
         
         
      Total   $4,965

As you can well imagine the gaping hole in the coin count was due to the birth and subsequent looking after of my fabulous daughter. She still needs looking after but as she wakes early I get to hunt then come home and help.
 Enormous thanks goes to Mrs Cash who puts up with this hobby of mine.

    BIG congratulations Tommy C, that's a huge effort.  I'm just under the magical mark myself and I know how much hard work has gone into achieving such a total.  Now for the big 10k  8).

    TC,

    Well done mate, I'd say there would be a fair amount of spending money in the rings you have found over that period too.

    Mice work mate. $5K Nice tally. I am hoping living up in the bush will mean there are less coin chasers in some of the parks.
