I've been detecting 3 years now and 2017 was my best year yet.
Here's some of my highlights and a couple of my favourite odds N' ends.
My 1719 King Louis XV 10 sols french Silver coin is my oldest Silver to Date.
Native loop earring was an unexpected find.
First gold (filled) ring.
A copper arrow head is one of my Fav's.
My first fur trade Slivers,an ear bob earring and a stunning (banner) 1700's
Silversmith Crucifix.
Best find bar none was my recent intact trade musket side plate.
Interesting finds included a finger rosary and a Colonial grubbing hoe.
My only cool buttons were a golf sporting and a WW2 Airforce button.
Good luck to all in 2018.

What a great display of bucket listers you managed to recover this season. I can see 6 that I would love to find and I'd be right stoked just getting one of them, congrats!

You found some truly museum quality treasures this year that even folks from old Europe would be envious of. There is no doubt you are in some very historic areas. I hope your research continues to place you over even more fantastic finds next season. WOW! Drooling over so many of your amazing finds!:tongue1: BRAVO!:hello2:

Really great job in 2017! The
French silver coin is simply beautiful, that one is the winner! I also love the old and unique crucifix. Good luck in 2018!
