It comes down to this

2009 season is over and the pile isn't going to get any bigger. This was just as interesting as any of the past seasons. A great variety of finds and a few firsts along the way.

groupshots of my relics and buttons, coin collection keepers, jar-coins and cannonball


some items might be harder to see, closeups available upon request
there's really too many items to show them all individually, but I will try to give you the best shots I can

looks like you had a great year. you got some stuff on my "want" list for sure! congrats

[Kyle PA]

IH, you have been a great addition to this forum this year. You and Patch always amaze me with your posts loaded with coppers and relics. 2010 is going to be better than last year for you!

I would love to see a close-up of the one barrel tap.

here's better pic of the taps from this year, one fluted and other is threaded to fit....also some others from the collection

Oh great spigot masta.

I agree, it was a very interesting year and we added some great sites to our circuit, and definitely proved there is many good early spots left to find. Not even thinking about it, there's still two good areas with lots of fields that we never got to so that's something to look forward to in the Spring. This Winter I hope to get my stuff organized and look at 2010 as a new beginning, maybe even start hoarding all my finds.

Anyway, give me a shout for that coffee. I was going to suggest on a Sunday and go down and see if there's any coin tables set up, but I guess today is Sunday. Or maybe a hammer and chisel and hit the field.

i love to see pics when people find old spoons and forks and stuff..
i have no idea why... and keys... i guess it just makes the history
part more real... not just finding a "treasure" idk.

I'll take the coffee over chisel, I've battling a headcold for the past couple of days and a trip outside would be what the doctor would suggest

just the two smaller, the other four are some of previous years finds

[Kyle PA]

Sweet barrel taps, IH. I love digging them on sites, because they tell me there were staggering drunkards dropping coins nearby.

[The Patriot]

You've had a one heck of a year.... cheers to that and lets see what 2010 brings you

[pepperj]

It sure adds up over a season, you've done well.

[birdman]

Awesome bunch of finds you have there. Your building an amazing collection.
