Detector(s) used
Minelab Explorer II
First year of detecting. The first 6 months I used the Tesoro Vaquero and the remainder of the year I used the Explorer II. I love the tesoro, but the Explorer II is much better with coins therefore I believe my silver count would probably be higher if I used the Explorer all year. I didn't do so hot with the rings this year and I would like to increase these finds this year.

75 - Silver
3- Large Cents (1835 oldest coin)
1 - Walking Liberty
2- Big Silvers (Morgan & Peace Dollar)
22 - Indian Heads (1863 Fatty oldest)

_______________________________

Found a bunch of old military stuff like buttons & bullets.

Most Valuable find is either the Letter Opener (Civil War or Post Civil War according to many opinions) or the Celtic Cross (jade inlay) which has a rare makers mark from Burmingham England dating 1803.
