Lots of rings and earrings in my 23rd year of detecting

[tnt-hunter]

On April 30 I finished my 23rd year of detecting (I go from May 1 to April 30). It wasn’t my best year, but it was a long way from my worst which was my first year with $226.07. I have had 9 years when I found more money with my best year being $1447.90. This year I found $750.00 face value. Below I have listed my year totals and included a few pictures of my goodies.

Total coins 10,738
Face value US $750.00 (couldn’t make it come out even like this if I tried)
Detecting hours 829 (726.5 CZ 102.5 ATPro)
Gold items 21
Silver items 107
Rings 118
Earrings 142
Earring backs 59
Diamond jewelry 5 (2 rings and 3 earrings)
Class rings 2 (1 returned and one not returnable)
Military buttons 2
Round balls 11
Flat buttons 6
Sinkers 282
Neckerchief slides 9
Camp tent pegs 1,252 (Returned to camp) total since 2013 21,252 pegs returned
Dollar coins 8
Indian head cents 9
Shield nickels 2
1796 half reale
1829 bust dime
1847 large cent
1934 walking half
W quarter
Mercury dime pendant

Lifetime total coins 194,486 and total face value $14,093.17. (Total does not include value of sold jewelry and relics or rewards for returned items. NOTE all rewards are donated to scouts. I will not keep payment for returning something I feel does not belong to me. If I can identify the owner it is theirs not mine even if I did find it. FINDERS KEEPERS only applies to things that are not returnable. I know some of you may not agree with this, but that is the way I see it and you are free to do what you think is best. No judgment from me.)

The new year has started off with a nice variety of silver including a bucket lister so who knows this might be a great one. I’ll let you know next May. Thanks for looking, stay safe, good luck and may your coil lead you to good things.

A fantastic bunch of finds and a stellar job on the record keeping !

I've also kept detailed records of my finds from day one - for the last (16) years.
It's amazing how these records have helped me to decide if I should go back to a site from years ago or not.
Being able to look up old sites and return with a new detector or coil has resulted in countless good finds.

I've found hundreds of Silver Dimes but I've only ever found one Capped Bust - a 1829 like yours.

What a goal to attain to! (In my first year of hunting and still having found zero).

Outstanding finds! I used to keep all the jewelry and stuff like that, but figured out one day I ain't gonna live forever so I got in the mode of selling any precious metal finds. As high as gold and silver is right now, you could turn that stuff into fat stacks of cash.
