I have only been following T-Net since July, and already I know that anytime I see one of your posts chances are there are gonna be killer coins, buttons, and relics - and they are usually the type of stuff I love to dig - late colonial stuff :headbang: You had an outstanding year and I hope you have a better one in 2011 :thumbsup:

You mentioned you were having trouble remembering everything you dug this year. Here is what I do to keep track of my hunts. I make a folder and label it by year, say "2010 Hunts". Then each time I go out, I create a folder for that hunt, usually it has a pic of everything and close ups of the better stuff. Then I can always look back at what all I dug in a given year and on what date, without having to keep a journal.

Dave, what more can I say? WOW!!! :headbang: Your 2010 season was filled with unbelievable quality, quantity, and just overall sweetness! The two GW buttons would be enough to call it a success, but you went on and dug loads more.

As for the 1824 Marquis de Lafayette button, you know where I stand on that. That is a special button, my friend!

I wish you all the best this year!

Kirk :hello:
a little overboard on the "hall of fame" thing but thanks for that honor! :laughing7:
i just have the same "passion" as you guys do. I may have to upgrade that "passion" word to..."OBSESSION" :blob8:

amazing year, HMN.
If there was a vote, you would get my vote for the northeastern metal detectorist of the year.
good luck in '11.
