The photo in blue were my finds up till end of May, not too bad, but than due to several factors, the late summer and fall to early winter season had a dramatic drop off in oldies.
Overall, I did good on buttons and other artifacts this year, but in the coin department, I had expected more, but the law of diminishing return caught up with me in the fall time, time for some new sites.
No Half Cents in 2006, no Barbers, no William III coppers were my most noticeable absent finds. I also usually do better on some modern silver and Indian heads, but I was hunting such old sites over and over again, the only ones I found were most likely lost by hunters and not homesteaders.
Also, no rare finds this year, so yes, this year was just average for my part of the country.......

"The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
For undug coins this is true. For dug coins this is untrue.
The value will increase with judicious cleaning."
I may have to come dig in jersey, I want a large cent SO bad. I'm in WI, and from what I've seen, they ain't real common here.
I noticed that no-one really utilizes all the signature space provided, so I figured to be REALLY original I would make up the longest signature that I could and probably just leave it as one big run on sentence because all that punctuation just takes up way too much space-HH.
I wouldn't complain with that bunch. I'm better at finding the old iron relics here, they still are fun to find out what they are. Maybe some of your luck will rub on me.
