2014 is over, tallied up my finds today

[Gridwalker306]

Well, the ground is hard as a rock now, and the snow is arriving. I spent a few hours today cleaning and adding up my finds. This season I was able to find 914 coins with a face value of $49.72, and I met my goal of digging 50 silver coins. That means my silver coin to non-silver coin ratio was at 5.3%, which I am really happy with! I also found my first real solid gold ring! It's old and thin but I love it.

All in all it was a good season, nothing mind blowing, but I had lots of fun. Thanks for checking out my digs. Now I hibernate.

Thanks!

J.G. Tarver was called "the Texas giant", he was a sideshow withe the circus. This ring was a replica that would fit him. It was sold with travelling carnivals and the circus back in the 20's and 30's. Definitely the largest ring I have ever found!

Pic # 1 looks nasty. Not looking forward to that at all.
Godd job on the silvers, and reaching your goal. You managed to keep that ratio very high again this year.
Hope there are few left for you next season.
