It was a my 2nd year doing this and I decided to dedicate a lot of time to the hobby. I am proud of the progress I made!

I had one class ring return and a silver relic return, which was exciting and very rewarding. I embedded links in the previous text if you are interested in reading about them.

Here is the count and a few pictures for my 2013 most notables:

226 wheat pennies

8 V Nickels
1 old Mexican coin

Obviously, you have no life, lol! Seriously, that's an awesum amount of digging and a lot of very nice finds. To whom did you find return a 1934 college memorial buckle? Must have been children or grandchildren. My dad is 91, and he was only 11 in 1934.

It looks like a buckle, but it's not. It's actually pretty small. You can read the post on its return by clicking here.
