I know you have a lot of white stuff around over there today, and with any luck it might warm up after some rain to melt it away and you'll have a detecting opportunity in December? Okay, I know that doesn't look likely but it was a 'hope.' Perhaps you'll be able to sneak away to the west-side of the Cascades in the next month and use two or three days to round up the coins needed to reach your goal?

I know I was far from catching up for what I needed, and then I messed up. I realized I forgot to post my September results. Then when the end of October rolled around I gathered them up to tally and there were problems with the provider we're using for the Forums and they were down for a while. Cleaning house I had a mess of coins, sorted and stacked in the way, and with some cooler days I decided to take care of coin cleaning. I got them cleaned, but then I ended up blending the two months of coins, sorted into Pennies, and Nickels and the Dime and Quarter Clad pile.

Now I had piles of cleaned coins getting in my way in the living room and, not being able to rest due to some medical pain I'm dealing with, I was cleaning house in the middle of the night and just put all the coins, by denomination, in the different jars on the shelves in my living room .... forgetting to count the coins for a September/October combined tally. Mad at myself now because they are all mixed together and I messed up my Annual Coin Tally for the year. At least I admit my goof, but I also wasn't able to get away like I wanted to Portland or Utah for a week or so that would have significantly increased my coin recoveries. I would have come much closer to my goal, but it was a sluggish year and I doubt I would have reached it. 5,000 coins a year is a hefty goal for most folks these days, especially if they live in tiny Vale, but I'm going to use the same goal for 2020 ... and do my best to get out more often.

For this year, best of luck to you trying to get that goal you're so close to.
