Looking for a Civil War era picnic grove. Way back in the woods and within 20 minutes I get a great silver dime signal. Out comes this mud covered silver disc. Oh yeah, my coveted seated dime. I don't clean it because I don't want to scratch it so in the pocket it goes and I am sure I am on the old grove site. Then nothing.....absolutely nothing except the occasional .22 bullet or shell. Hours later I head back to the car and pour some water on my dime hoping to see Miss Liberty and a great old date. A freaking 1953d rosie. Obviously I have not found the grove site. Add one to my silver count but what a disappointment.

2011 was a good year for all, so let's try topping that in 2012. All new faces are welcome to join in at any time, and welcome back to everyone else. I will keep this tally going as I did the previous two years. Silver coins will be listed first, followed by gold items in $$. Numbers in (parenthesis) are last years numbers for you to compare your current count with. Good luck to all and HH!

With a few new members joining in on the tally this year, I'm setting our goal for this year at 3,000. A couple of our members got over 300 each last year, several over 100, and many near 100. This should not be difficult to reach. Let's step up our skills and kick some serious butt this year! With everyone gaining a bit of more experience, and upgrading their equipment I don't think this is out of our reach. Let's do this! :occasion14:

1. Goldinwater: (387 $89$) $7$
2. limegoldconvertibl68: 14
3. AmericanCoinHunting: (151) 4
4. tommyboy72: (324 $59$) 8
5. p2c: (48) 5
6. marinedad: (18 ) 11
7. Clad the Impaler: (86) 4 [100]
8. Lookn4Seated: (171 $16$) 2 [100]
9. Pocket Spill: (129) 7
10. MR Senior: (140) 6
11. Etrac007: (58) 2
12. amxfred: (15) 10
13. tmanfromtexas: 4
14. dbennett7: 9 [75]
15. Gimmie The Loot: (55) 5 [60]

Total: (2,287) 90 [3,000]

A short hunt after work netted another war nickle, 43P. Also got a few wheats, memorial and one of those Presidential toy tokens.

Id like to join in and help the cause & hopefully meet more detectorists in the St. Louis metro area. I have never kept track in other years so maybe this will help me. 28 thus far, one barber and one Walking half, the others all mercs, rosies, and a couple Washingtons. Soft ground in January will certainly help the totals.

Congrats on a great start, and welcome aboard. You will see how active our guys are on the IL section of the forum. I'm sure you'll meet some new folks from around your area.

I've already met a couple via TN, good experiences all around. Lucky on my start, found a section of park,new to me that is trashy and must have never seen a good machine and managed to find 20 in two short hunts. Normally its door knocking and squeeking out what I can in pounded parks.
