I know everybody has a wish list in things to find and do while metal detecting, prospecting or any other type of treasure hunting. I thought it would be fun to hear some of them. I'll start my list and update it as things get completed.


1. Find my first silver coin. Done...
2. Find a silver Dime. Done...
3. Find a silver Quarter.
4. Find a silver Half Dollar.
5. Find a silver Dollar.
6. Find a coin older than 1900.
7. Find a coin older than 1860.
8. Find a coin older than 1800.
9. Find a gold ring.
10. Find a silver ring.
11. Find something valued over $100.
12. Find something valued over $1000.
13. Find a Civil War relic other than a bullet.
14. Find a Civil War bullet.
15. Detect a house older than 1880.
16. Detect a property with a historic significance.
17. Go gold prospecting.
18. Find a gold nugget.
19. Metal detect a very old park.
20. Go gem prospecting.
21. Have a find in a museum. Done...


I'll add more when I think of them.

I always wanted to metal detect, a gold coin, a silver dollar and a 3 cent piece. I have detected a silver half, a half dime, a half cent and some seated coins which was quite exciting for me.

My buddy has a rather bizarre bucket list that he and his son are looking for... When ever I hit big iron I called him over to dig it up... One item he is looking for is a wood stove door... :dontknow:

That is a bit bizarre. I think all those stove doors are made of iron.
LOL Sorry about that. I couldn't resist. Frank...-

exactly why I didn't dig it... I never got to see the entire list, but if that was any indication, I bet they were having fun!

Make another list Austin. I lost mine too, I'm happy with just about anything I find except the trash, but these are a few.

The ever elusive gold/diamond ring, any of the pine tree coins, LC "with" a readable date, silver half, silver dollar, any coin pre 1800, pirate treasure, cache, gold coin, gold nugget, any gold or plat jewelry, old buttons, any key date coin, anything rare, usable tools, a squirrel that can show me where the good stuff is buried...oh did that slip out?
There's more my brain just refuses to function.
