Loco-Digger's Best of 2015

I am humbled by all the fantastic finds of others :notworthy: and am grateful to have found Tnet. I'd like to think I have made some good friends here and would love to share a pitcher of beer with many you as we swap dirt fishing stories :occasion14:.

This season's hunts consisted of more permissions than public lands. I dug less clad (by choice) than last year but dug many more keepers. Many of my relics are all over the house or are already in displays, thus I have very few in the pics below. If you seen one harmonica reed, you've seen them all, just saying...

I will let the pictures speak for themselves. I pulled my oldest coin (1812 Five Francs) :hello2: and my most valuable coin (1877 Indian Head) :headbang: in 2015. Yes this was a BANNER year. :goldmedalred:

I'd like to give a special shout-out to Vince76 :hello: for the goodwill gesture of sending me a couple coins from Italy. In return I sent him a 1901 IHP and a 1941 Merc.

All Silvers The ring was a coin once thus it made this pic.

IHPs and Other Keeper Coins 2015 will be remembered as the year of the Indian Head Penny

I know I read a lot of posts from you LD, but I don't remember the Peace dollar. Senility must be setting in. That's a great year and I hope 2016 is just as good.

That's a fantastic year! The peace dollar is a great find, but the 1812 5F really blows my hair back. Congrats on the key date IH, and all your other cool finds. Good luck in 2016, I hope you manage to dig your Walker and SLQ this coming year.

That's a heck of a year LD. Just think of the buckets of trash ( If your like me ) that you removed from good ground to get there. Look forward to the year to come.
