Haven't hunted in a few weeks and didn't take advantage of a couple of single day melts recently to get out, and now with the cold back it's done for good. So the detectors are put away and this years finds will get put in their cases/appropriate places once I click to post this.
It's 2019 done for me, but also it's 20 years I've now been suffering in this miserable hobby.
It was certainly a good year digging, but a rather strange one because since 1999 it has always been a handful of early military buttons -- ones I really liked that made my years. I did dig some buttons this year, but this time it was more in addition to my better finds. It was also weird in the way that I got 4 very good sets of 2. It started in the early Spring with 2 rare local tokens and not long after 2 key date Canadian silver. Then before that season ended I dug a trade silver ring (a first for me) and then unbelievably to start the Fall I got a 2nd trade silver with the nice designed brooch. At the end of the Fall came the 2 American silver... first the capped bust half dime (a 1st) and then the nice seated quarter (only my 2nd). Those 8 definitely made my year, but there was some buttons I do like, the lion buckle was something different, and the counterfeit countermarked French ECU is cool as hell.
My plan this Winter is to get everything super organized and basically file it all away and then start another 20 years and see how that goes. It most definitely will never match the sites and finds Ironhorse and I have come up with but that doesn't mean we are not going to try!
