[West Jersey Detecting]

It was a very good year for me. Not so much in the coin department, although I had plenty, but the intersting artifacts were numerous.

Here are my favorites, 1836 Large Cent, St. Christopher Medal, Monogramed Coin Silver Spoon circa 1850 From S&E Roberts, of Trenton NJ.

Found a lot of coins and misc stuff, but my avatar is the best "find" of the year. At least I call it a find.

 

[texan connection]

WOW!! 99Brown, wher'ed you find That??

 

[BuckleBoy]

Found more good relics than good coins this year--usually it is the other way around. Here's the Sword Belt Plate (before and after photos) from January 2006.

Cheers to all, and best wishes for 2007!!!

From old house, old dirt! Was deep and brought up from a trench that was dug, easy find for me, I looked, seen it sticking out of the dirt pile!

Wish they were all that easy to find.

2006 was my first year detecting and the finds sort of reflected that... i have no doubt they will get better as i find better places to hunt........my best finds were as follows:

2005 girls class ring (still pending return)
2 silver rings
2 mercs
2 silver rosies
somewhere around 30 wheats
boy scout knife
some kind of military pin
couple silver belt buckles
8 or 9 tax tokens
and about $50 in clad

this year i plan on making better record of my finds so i can give an exact account for 2007

good luck to everyone and happy hunting
