Reluctantly I think I may have to call it a year, weather is getting too cold and with Christmas coming I have to work more and play less. If I do get out again anything I find will be a bonus and would rather think along those lines and be happy with that than think I am gonna get out more and be bummed that I don't. If I can figure out a good way to lay all the coins out and get a good clear pic I will. Anyhow for the year....
3-old colonial coppers, 5- ? unknown lg. coppers, 1- half cent, 13- large cents, 5-Canadian lg. cents, 3-Flying eagles, 109- Indian Heads (found 2 more today and forgot about the ones I had soaking), a ton of wheaties, 3- 2cent pieces, 3- Liberty nickels, 16- Buffalo nickels, 9- silver war nickels, 1-seated half dime, 2-seated dimes, 10- Barber dimes, 68- Mercury dimes, 34- Roosevelt dimes, 2- seated quarters, 3- Barber quarters, 4- SLQ's, 19- Washington quarters, 1-Liberty Half, and 1- Franklin half.
I was tickled to find all I did and would not have found any if it wasn;t for the generosity and kindness of ALL the landowners that happily let me detect on their property and I want to thank them ALL. In my dream world I hope to top the above totals next year, realistically, I will be thrilled if I find half of what I did this year. I had a couple VERY productive honey holes that really produced and jumped my totals up. I will go over all the areas I hit this year and see what the frost pushed up, but don;t expect next years numbers to be close to this years, but what makes this hobby so addictive and great, they just may and you never know what you may find...
