I started out strong this spring and it kind of slowed down this fall due to family stuff , but I had a great year overall . This first thing I will show is my pile o'clad which amounted to 64.75 to include $ 2 in Dollar coins, $30 in Quarters, $6 in Nickels , $19.50 in Dimes and a back breaking $7.25 in Cents


Followed by an equally back breaking 183 wheat cents including over 25 pre 1920s .
A good assortment of relics, buttons, goodies and odds & ends . My favorite to include the 1908 Presidential Race Watch Fob, German Silver Phoenix Bolo Tie Clasp and the horseshoe nail ring








1 Canadian Un Sou piece , 2 LCs and my oldest coin to date a 1736 KG II .
Some interesting tokens
I did manage to find a couple of rings and jewelry but I cant seem to locate them for picture day
Nothing ground breaking just some .925 kids rings a couple of bracelets and a gold belly button ring
Non silver decent coin finds included 8 IH pennies including a 1909s , 10 Buffs and 2 V nickels
Finally on to my silver for the year which ended up being 67 pieces total
I had two big highlights of the year ... the first being my cache of 15 Franklin Halves I found buried in a can on the edge of Alan Ginsbergs old farm

The second being the coin spill I found of a 1875 3 cent Nickel , a 1862 Trime and a 1872 Seated Half Dime
The rest of the silver to include 1 Barber Half , 2 Walker Halves and 1 1969 Kennedy Half . I cant believe I found 4 different kinds of halves this year
For Quarters I managed to rescue 2 Barbers , 6 Washingtons and 2 Canadian Silver
I found the most silver in the dimes as im sure most people do . Included were 1 Seated ,5 Barbers , 8 Mercs ,13 Rosies and 2 Canadian dimes
Finally last but not least it took me most of the summer to find my first but I ended up with 5 OD nickels

I have to include a couple of pictures of all my silver in one big shiny pile on my desk

It was a long detecting season this year I just wish I could of gone all year as strong as I started but life has a way of interfering sometimes . Good luck to all and cant wait to see what 2016 brings
