I may as well give this a shot! :tongue3:

Here is my top 10 individual finds of which I have pictures handy. I guess "best finds" can mean a lot of different things, such as value, what they mean to you personally, historical significance, etc...

These are some of the ones that stand out as special to me, and cover a variety of categories. :)

1: 10K Gold Ring w/ 1945 Mexico 2 Pesos Gold Coin Inlay
2: Cast Brass, Confederate, Civil War Period Coat Button (Block "I")
3: High Grade 1897 Barber Quarter
4: Vintage Toy Luger (Pictured w/ the silver I found that day, was an insane hunt!)
5: Key Date 1921 Standing Liberty Quarter (Estimated Value: $150.00)
6: Victorian Era Silver Bracelet w/ Turquoise
7: 1926 Mexico 1 Peso, 72% Silver (Nearly silver dollar sized)
8: Skeleton Key (Nearly the size of my hand!)
9: Nearly Flawless 1916 Mercury Dime (Used as jewelry setting)
10: 1910 United States Census Employee Badge

I can see why you would include them in a top 10 for your Mding career.
 

Congrats on some great finds!
 

The silver bracelet does it for me..., and the other 9 finds, well.... do it for me too.
 

JD, it's nice to see you on the forum. Loving the census badge and that gold coin ring is phenomenal! Congrats!
