[Bigmike2334]

Well folks I’m finally done with my 2018 wrap up and it’s pretty impressive the jump up from last years numbers. A lot of research, hiking, and persistence and the help of my new Nox 800 also made these numbers take a big leap, coins and relics sure add up. Be advised this post is pic heavy but I did my best to make it simple to see everything. The amount of buckles I found this year is surreal! Can’t wait to see what 2019 brings! HH!
Here are the final numbers:
54- Silver coins
23- Silver pieces
18-coppers(some are still soaking not pictured)
43-IHPs
123-Wheats
18lbs of lead
60lbs of Brass/copper


Key Finds:
1693/5 William and Mary Copper
1835 Capped Bust Half
1893 Barber Half
1917 Walker Half
1764 Spanish 1 Reale (Guatemala Mint)
Coin Silver Spoon
Coin Silver Constables Badge
2 Civil war tokens
3 Hard times tokens

I've dug Lima and Potosi as well as Mexico City, but never Guatemala.

I've dug some Guatemala Bustos (as well as Potosi and Lima) but never of the pillar type.

My wife is now calling 911 because I just passed out, and she has no idea why !! What an outstanding year and congrats to you on some most excellent finds.

That’s one helluva year Mike. QUALITY finds vs ALOT of mediocre finds are something I’d rather have every day of the week! And you’re just one guy! Think about the piles and piles of coins of all kinds that are on average recovered year after year and then multiply that by the number of hunters out there....it’s mindboggling how much we have NOT found yet.
Congratulations on a fantastic year and good luck coming up here shortly! You really do have some great areas to hunt so make the most of it again!
