Hey Bryce!!
What a year, huh?

Your passion is so high for the hobby, and it shows in your presentations and finds!!
"...more barber dimes than Rosies!!!"

That's exactly what I did on my trip to Iowa in '07. Couldn't figure out where all the Rosies were.

Then I realized how many md'ers had detected the area I was detecting when a local explained to me of the detecting club in town. His eyes popped out of his head when I showed him my finds. He said he hadn't seen finds like that in years there.
I enjoyed each and every one of your posts in '08. I always know when you post, it's going to be good!! You certainly make the most of your pounded hunting sites. And best of all, detecting has brought more than just finds to both of us. You feel a peace come over you, lightening the load on stressful times, than can be unmatched by anything else. I feel that too, buddy.
Wishing you the very best in '09!! You're a great friend, who I hope to be able to someday meet.
I know this is your off season, so hang tight. I will try to keep posting some deepies for you to look at while you're off.
HH,
