My 2014 Best Finds Post

[Steve in PA]

I didn't find a large quantity of finds in 2014 but I did find some nice pieces that I was pretty happy with. Most of my digging was in Southwestern PA, but I did make a nice find in Hampton, VA (Starr revolver bullet mold), Texas (multi-ring Sharps, buttons, and Texas Star saddle blanket ornament) and in Maryland (US Box plate and 1739 KG II). The highlight of my year was finding a 1661 hammered Hungarian silver coin along with a 1708 cut Spanish silver on April 12, 2014.

Here are the pics, thanks for looking and good luck in 2015. Jeff you will have to move this post since I could not post through the Annual Finds forum.

NOTE: The last picture should have been the 3rd picture. It shows a complete 44 cal Starr revolver bullet mold.

What is that last picture?

The last picture shows what the bullet mold in the first two pictures would have looked like. It was supposed to be the 3rd picture in my post.

Nice finds, how do you like the At Gold for coins?

Nice finds, how do you like the At Gold for coins?

To be honest, I hardly use the AT Gold. It is my backup detector. I rely on my F75 for the majority of my hunting.

you got some fantastic stuff this year. I love that old masonic cuff link

That hammered coin is incredible and the Spanish is always nice. Beautiful buckle as well. But I really love the cufflinks. I think they're such a cool find. Great season buddy

Hammered is incredible, the plate is beautiful, and all the rest are fantastic finds. The bullet mold--VERY rare to find in terms of the type of mold it is--is exceptional!

I hope 2015 is an even better finds year for you!

Awesome bunch of finds congrats on a good season you had....

 

[treblehunter]

That is allot of great stuff, they all are my favorites, extremely cool that you were able to find both cuff-links, I mean how many times do you dig something up that belongs in pairs and it is only one of them. Something about finding a "masonic item" really makes you wonder who was wearing them?

An exceptionally good year digging Steve. WTG, Q.

Excellent year-end highlights, Steve. I've never seen that neat Hungarian coin before, and that US box plate looks absolutely perfect! Great post!

I'm not much for relics and coins unless they are Gold but you have some real nice Treasure for 2014, Congrads on all and May 2o15 be better for all of us..

 

[Carolina Tom]

Very nice finds. The coins are just eye popping! Congrats on really good year!

You had a great year, Steve! The Bullet Mold + 1661 Hungarian coin give you a high standard to try and top next year. No doubt you will.
