Sure was a good year.

It has been a fun year of hunting (2009), most of my finds where found out in the woods and while hunting in groups and that makes it even more fun. Most of my finds were from digging iffy signals so this season I will try to dig even more, Man I sure hope to find more here in the 2010 season.

​

I have a few coins on my wish list for the new season and they are a seated dime & quarter, 20 cent piece, and a half dime. Maybe who knows but I am sure gonna try to find them!!!

Your coin finds are very similar to mine for the year 2009, except I didn't find a large cent and your shield nickel is in much better condition than mine. But I have one up on you: a Ben Franklin half.

Great finds and great video!
