Had a great year hunting this year. I hunted alot with GOIO and McNickel all over the Chicago land area. I also got to hunt in Indiana, Texas and Louisiana this year but the majority of my finds were in Illinois. I spent almost 500 hours hunting the area with my Minelab Etrac. I ended up with a total of 4004 coins, of which were 1145 wheaties. I also found 213 silver coins, (181 dimes and 32 quarters). I found 23 indians, 1 v nickel, and 1 buffalo nickel. I also found an 1845 large cent which I felt like was my best find of the year. I also ended up with 10 silver rings.

Now I cant wait for the snow to melt some and the ground to thaw. Have a great 2010 and happy hunting.

Well you certainly can't complain about the ratio of wheaties to your total coin total. Excellent.
 

Congrats, that's some awesome hunting and awesome finds,Sweet! :thumbsup:

I hope my finds look more like that- this year.

Looks like we're getting a slight thaw coming up, Good luck,

Thanks. I am watching the temps as I type. I am hoping some of the snow will melt and I can get out Sunday for a few hours and see what I missed last year. SMAN...
