I started this great and addicting hobby May of 2017 and i thought i would post my best finds from this past year.
I have found 41 silver coins, 17 IHP's, 3 large cents, 3 liberty nickels, 2 buffalo, 100+ wheats, $100+ in clad, 6 silver rings, Colonial Dandy button, 2 civil war buttons, WW1 button, Over 40 Civil war bullets, Union buckle and other great finds. I had a case made for my Civil war finds and a plaque since they all came from the same battle here in NC. Here are some pictures of some of my favorites. Thanks for looking and HH!

You have certainly excelled with your obsession, and i must say the display looks top notch. You have certainly set the bar very high for year #2, because that was a killer first year!

Very Well Done on some saved CW History. I really like the display case. This is the same way I have most of my artifacts or relics displayed. You have had a Killer first year. It is easy to see why you have become addicted to this great hobby. Continued success to you. We look forward to seeing more posts of some great relics brought up from beneath. Congrat's to you also on your other finds as well.:icon_thumright:

I love it.

A great dedication saving & Displaying the history from that Battle , be prepared to add more pieces to the Display cause if that site is still accessible you will likely find your self there again.

Also If I was to find that much silver in a year , I'd be forced to Trespass . ' LOL '
