2011 was a good year for all, so let's try topping that in 2012. All new faces are welcome to join in at any time, and welcome back to everyone else. I will keep this tally going as I did the previous two years. Silver coins will be listed first, followed by gold items in $$. Numbers in (parenthesis) are last years numbers for you to compare your current count with. Good luck to all and HH!

With a few new members joining in on the tally this year, I'm setting our goal for this year at 3,000. A couple of our members got over 300 each last year, several over 100, and many near 100. This should not be difficult to reach. Let's step up our skills and kick some serious butt this year! With everyone gaining a bit of more experience, and upgrading their equipment I don't think this is out of our reach. Let's do this! :occasion14:

Looks like we might hit the 2,500 mark this year, if all the newbies will be going out and adding to the totals. Spectacular to see numbers coming in already. Looks like we have the upper hand so far this winter with the weather participating with us. Now get out there and dig some silver! HH :thumbsup:

Hello, I went out for a bit Thursday and got a Merc and a Washington quarter, went out Friday for about 30 minutes and got another Washington, and I went out today for a bit and got a nice 1918 Standing Liberty Quarter and a slick Seated Dime. this should put at 6 silver for the year so far.
