Heres a video of all the finds, if you don't feel like watching all the finds scroll ahead to the 24 minute mark, its pretty cool/funny in my opinion!!


What a year its been!, Before the season started i made some goals for myself, #1 being get more permissions and well lets just say ive achieved that, also I made some new friends, some great finds, and had the chance to hunt some of the most amazing spots! found tons of relics and coins, got a little pic heavy lol!! Heres the pics: buttons, bells, relics up first: 20150106_102431.jpg 20150106_102445.jpg 20150106_102508.jpg 20150106_102537.jpg 20150106_102559.jpg 20150106_102756.jpg 20150106_102843.jpg 20150106_102946.jpg 20150106_103223.jpg 20150106_103416.jpg Early 1900-current day relics: 20150106_111831.jpg 20150106_111703.jpg 20150106_111015.jpg 20150106_111217.jpg 20150106_111334.jpg 20150106_111554.jpg
Miscellaneous finds, junk jewelry, dog tags, etc: 20150106_112452.jpg 20150106_112737.jpg 20150106_112808.jpg 20150106_113029.jpg 20150106_113248.jpg tokens: 20150106_131203.jpg 16 coppers including 1805 draped bust large cent, undated draped bust large cent, half cent, undated KG. Beautiful 1864 2 cent coin! plus 1927 English 1 penny and 1911 1/2 penny, and Chinese coin 20150106_132220.jpg 20150106_132227.jpg 20150106_132317.jpg 25 old nickels including: 7 war nickels, 13 buffalo nickels, 4 V nickels and 1 shield nickel: 20150106_133305.jpg 45 indian heads! 20150106_133849.jpg 314 wheats 20150106_134902.jpg 9 non-coin silver items (8 pictured, 1 silver pin returned to owner) 20150106_135750.jpg and 58 silver coins!! 7 war nickels, 5 Washington quarters, 5 SLQs, 15 roosies, 1 Canadian dime, 20 Mercury dimes, 3 barbers, 1 seated, and 1 1794 Spanish half reale!! 20150106_151635.jpg

What a year, all I wanted was 50 silver with at least 1 barber and/or seated, I would've never expected to get a Spanish silver or a KG, my indian head count quietly creeped up on me as I was focused on that silver goal, now that the ground is frozen solid all I can do is patiently wait for a hopeful march thaw!, thanks for looking all year guys, good luck out there and hh!!!!

yep, pretty darn good year. you got a great variety of finds, making it hard to just like one thing so I like them all. a lot of just plain ole cool things and a lot of desirable things that many hope to find themselves. those make for both fun and exciting hunts, congrats

Thank you for the pictures as it's an easy one on the eyes to view, great groupings of finds. I find your statement on the IH pennies and how the count creeps up so true and it happens with so many different finds that at the end of the year when it all gets put together one can sit back and say "WOW!" it was a really good year out detecting.

Thanks but I don't think it's real, it has green in the center of the band which I think is the underlying metal that was gold plated over

An amazing array of finds, cjon. Thanks so much for posting it all. Good luck in 2015.
BTW, I don't think we are all that far apart geographically. Maybe sometime this year we could meet up?
