2010 my best year ever.

[mainer]

2010 will go down as the best year I have ever had in this hobby. Here is the breakdown. 18 injuns, 2 Flying Eagles, 4 Buffalo's, 1 V-nickel, 3 Shield nickels, 10 Large Cents, 5 Kg coppers, a 1693 Irish William and Mary half penny, which is my oldest coin to date. Plus a beat up half cent. Aswell as 7 unidetifiable large coppers. For silver coins I ended the year with 24, the breakdown goes like this. 2 Barber quarters, 2 standing liberty's, 6 Washingtons, 1 Capped bust dime, 1 barber dime, 4 merc's, 1 roosie, 1 Seated half dime, 1 Three cent silver, 1 peace dollar, 1 Brittish 3 pence, and 3 half reale's.

For Relics it was a great year aswell. With my silver knee buckle being my best relic for the year. Also found a ram rod guide to an early Brittish musket. For buttons I dug well over a hundred, a lot of plain flat buttons. The two I have pictured in this post are a late 1700's marines button. And a Mass. civil war button. Many more relics were dug but thought I would just put the better one's in.

Hope you enjoy. This first post will show my favorite early coins. The rest will be in post's below.
1. 1723 KG I
2. A peeling KG III
3 and 4 a counterfit KG
5 and 6 1756 half reale
7 and 8 1775 half reale
9and 10 1782 half reale

Excellent year for sure, I like the silver buckle and the cameo, nothing like great relics to compliment the good year you also had on coins! Congrats on 2010 being your best year and hoping 2011 is just as good.
