Finds Checklist

[Bluegrass Diggin]

Hey everyone I was thinking recently and I always hear others talk about finding that elusive relic or coin and checking it off the list. It made me think do any of you have or know of an actual checklist of coins or relics that you use?

I just thought it would be really cool especially for someone like me who is still very new to the hobby to have a checklist to keep track of finds as I progress. Also it would give me goals of finding certain items and coins that may be very elusive and make the hunt for those items that much more thrilling. It's just a thought I had and I figured I would see if anyone else does or knows of something similar. Thanks all!

Bluegrass, I don't know of any specific checklists, as your geographic location would dictate what's in the ground around you. You could concentrate on CW relics, old buckles, belt and box plates etc. Gold is high on people's lists, gold coin/gold rings. Silver heavily populates lists also, silver rings, silver coins such as Roosevelt, Mercury, Barber, Seated, Capped Bust etc. Silver halves and Silver dollars are high on the lists too. Old coppers such as wheat cents, Indians, Large Cents, Flying Eagle, Draped Bust etc. And with these coins, there are key dates, like the 1877 Indian Head cent, 1916d Mercury dime etc there are plenty more. The more you hang around here, you'll get an idea of what's commonly found, rare items and the Holy Grails of finds. Check out the "Best of Treasure Net" forum, research rare silver and copper coins and you'll have a good start on your list. Good luck! Ddf.

Thanks for the information! I have found a list of US Coins that is pretty thorough so that will be a great help. I'm sure I'll learn more and more and become more familiar with the rare items and the most prized as time goes on.
