It's been a while for the Tuesday breakdown, so here it is!
Check out the photos... The first photo is from our Baker Lake camping trip and our first find on July 12, 2009. We ended scooping up $.38. A couple of weeks later we found our first dollar bill and more coins. Look how the pot has grown since that first day!
Hunts have been limited, but we are still keeping our eyes on the prize. It's amazing where we came from, a whopping $.38 on our first find-to $32.54 today. Remember that these are above ground finds! It's the parking lot at the grocery store, video store, fast food restaurant and baseball stadium. It's the walk that you go on with your family, the hike, the road trip-these are the places that these coins surface-and it's all above ground.
Can you imagine what is waiting beneath the ground? What would enhance our searches? A metal detector of course! That will be one of our family gifts-and we are excited to expand our Lincoln Penny Project's finds.
Breakdown:
$5.00 (1)=$5.00
$1.00 (2)=$2.00
$.25 (51) + 4 Canadian = $13.75
$.10 (58) + 2 Canadian = $6.00
$.05 (30) + 1 Canadian + 1 Australian = $1.55
$.01 (409) + 3 Wheaties, 3 Canadian = $4.16
Grand total to date: $32.54
143 finding days averages out to $.24 per day
