What a ride this year has been!...
My goal each year for silver coins is 50, and I hit that goal, with 60!!!:headbang:
I just realized too that I beat last years total of 56, ha!

No doubt my best coin find was the the 4 in the hole dollars! I was so grateful to have earned my first "Banner"

Finally, my notable jewelry finds, not too much, but good enough for me!

My relics got all mixed up within my display cases, along with my wheats....lost control of what and where I found all of my stuff!:BangHead:

It's been fun sharing the passion with all of you his year, thanks for looking!:hello:

Congratulations, must be an amazing feeling unearthing those silver dollars. I've dug up many silver dollar tones this year, but all smashed cans...

That's a lot of silver Dave, like 50 more than I got.
And 4 dollars in one hole, what a rush that must have been.
