2008 was the best year for me yet (with the help of the White's DFX)! I found more than 65 buttons at two sites, not to mention all of the great old coins that have already been posted! 75% of these buttons date between 1780 and 1840.
As far as the "non keepers" (clad, memorial cents, etc.) the totals are:
278 Memorial cents
44 jefferson nickels
110 Clad dimes
71 Clad quarters
1 Clad half dollar
2 Sacagawea dollar coins
1 Eisenhower dollar.
Not bad considering I did not detect in a single public park, beach or school yard!
WOW!!! Nice job on all of the buttons! Looks like you have been busy this year! Can't wait to see what you get next year!!!
Anyone can make life interesting you just have to go out there and do things instead of sitting on your butt doing nothing. Second quote: Life is about trying new things not just standing around.
