I started my year off with the CTX coming straight from the Etrac the previous 2 years. I hunted primarily public spots that have been hunted for years and are easily accessible to anyone that knows the area. This part on NM hasn't been heavily populated ever, 1800 people until the early 40's, founded in 1898. I did do a few hunts at a WW1 training camp, that's where all the buttons and weird buckles and whatnot's came from. The old coppers came from Old Mesilla NM about 70 miles from where I live. Most of the silvers came from the old zoo, an old high school and a few permissions. I did waaay too much cherry picking because my time was limited this past year, hence not many nickles or mid to low conductors in my pouch this year :dontknow: Sooooo, my New Years resolution is too get back to the nitty gritty and go back with my new Equinox and clean up what I left behind. Pic heavy post.

Wow Dan, you tore it up this year! Looking forward to 2018 with my CTX.

Thank you, your going to love it when you see what that thing can do. I can't tell you how many times I've stood there shaking my head in disbelief after digging a nice target. Have a great New Year!!
 

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!
 

Congrats on a great yr that's a lot of digging, let's see what in store for 2018
 

Excellent year you had. I sure love the relics you find. I hope 2018 is even better!
 

Well done sir. That’s a nice haul of Goodies.

Best to you in 2018.
 

Fan freaking tastic !:)
 

Great stuff! Awesome silver haul, and the old Centavos are really cool!
 

Dan you killed in in 2017, Congrats. :occasion14: I sure wish I had a silver coin count like yours. :notworthy: There's nothing wrong with cherry picking, as long as you go back and snipe it clean another time or 2. You seem to know your machine buy the sheer quantity of your finds pictured. What do you do with all your finds?

GL & HH in 2018.

Thank you LD....My intent is to go back and hit the places again and try and be a bit more diligent to go after the stuff I passed over :) As far as my finds go, I culled a bit of it and I hoard the rest :icon_thumright:
