    2008 My First Full Year Detecting

    Well 2008 was my first complete year of hunting. I have learned as much here on the forum as I have out in the field. I love this site and I'm hooked on dirt fishing. The old lock in the picture my wife found at the Louisiana Bayou Hunt. Everything else I found. 2 silver rings and a gold plated chain. 6 Wheat's, an Eisenhower Dollar and a 50 cent piece. Others there as well, these are all my favorites.

    Re: 2008 My First Full Year Detecting

    yes seger they are random tokens I found. I hunt at the state fair grounds here more than anywheres because its close and no one ever around there. So I have found alot of tokens, all modern stuff for the most part. Ones a Don carters Bowling, theres a coca cola one. There is a balloon festival there and on the top of the picture you can see a balloon pin.
