Finds for 2017 and nothing but public parks

[Truth]

I guys hopefully this year I’ll start doing permissions, but up till now this is what I got for 2017 which was 10x’s greater than 2016.

In the last 2 months of 2017 I hit a section of this park that produced me 27 minie balls and 1 carved. First time ever getting minie balls.

Biggest silver coin award goes to 1900 Barber Half Dollar

Nice finds!!! Can’t beat those mini’s! I’ve yet to ever find one, but up north I guess they aren’t as common? Hope your streak continues and 2018 is 10x better again!

Wow!
Those finds added up. Lot's of goodies.
One spoon looks like it was used for a belt spoon. I bent one and carry it on a knife sheath.

Very nice! That's a heck of a year, especially for hunting all public parks!

Those are amazing finds especially being solely recovered from public parks. 53 old keeper Nickels is flat KILLING it my friend. I would guess being public many cherry pickers left those for YOU buddy! You did quite well on silver and gold rings too. I got ZERO silver and one Gold ring this year. You had a bang up year buddy. I hope you do venture out into some private permissions. Then I bet your finds will really take off.

Truth, Congrats on a great year of detecting! Thanks for sharing the pics of those incredible finds! Hope your 2018 finds exceed 2017's!

Great year Truth! When I looked at your list it really is a BUNCH of sweet finds! You knocked it out of the “ PARK “ with all those minnie balls. Good luck to you in 2018 my friend.

Thank you so much Kurios I plan on join a club this year and meeting some others. I’m sort of a lone wolf (keep to myself this days) but I’m gonna have to take it to the next level and that’s connections and getting those permissions. That you for all you encouragement and kind words and may your new year have a big SILVER lining.
