45 Gold, 34 Silver Coins, 21 Other Silver

[Ant]

This is a compilation of my precious metal finds for last year (2008). I came up on 45 gold items, 34 silver coins, and 21 other silver items. I would have 46 gold finds but I lost one.

My low gold count for this year is because for more than half of last year I concentrated on learning a new machine, the ML SE. Thanks for looking and good luck.

[crazyjarhead]

Nice totals Ant. Haven't seen you post in a while

 

[John Deere Digger]

Great year, with super finds. That's a low Gold count? Wow HH
JDD

 

[t-bucket]

Congrats on a great year !!!!!!

 

[seger98]

Incredible, simply incredible!

 

[dazoff]

Great hunting there. How do you find the goldbug in the field as far as other trash I have one and really never considered it for park hunting. Dan

 

[Iskuli]

Ant ~ I got a thing about rings! Love your finds. Especially the garnet ring. Sa-weet! Happy hunting in 09"

 

[ilyes1113]

fantastic findes.
i saw one arab imarates coin is it found in usa?

 

[Captn SE]

Your year far surpasses the average md'ers year, Anthony!

Congrats on all your finds and extensive pics!! You put a lot of effort into your hunts and presentations. Your passion for detecting is very high!!

Have a great '09!! Maybe we'll cross paths this year!

HH,

[The Bulgarian]

WTG Ant Very good job you did.Congrats.

 

[Narthoniel]

Good lord! That is an incredable collection you have there. I want to come and just watch you hunt for a day or two. You rock!

 

[twincapes]

Nice work Ant, You have done a great job specializing in Gold, and thats not an easy task for park hunters.

 

[camb1]

Very Great Year Indeed.

 

[DigginThePast]

Wow! I'd call just a fraction of that a great year but this is outstanding.

 

[pakeha63]

Wow!!! Thats great finds I'm still trying to figure out my Minelab SE. I have Andy Sabischs book, and have studied the gold ring readings, but funny enough, on the weekend I pulled a 14k gold ring with a reading of 21/06. Got me thinking a bit, so I started pulling all good hits, but only managed two cheapy rings. Parks here are riddled with pull tabs, so is there something I'm missing for gold? Is smartfind better than digital?
Once again, congatulations on a good year.

 

[willie d]

Looks like an excellent year to me !

 

[terpfan]

For someone learning a new machine, those are some terrific finds. Do you know what those wings are in the first picture? I found the same thing a few weeks back.
