I had a great year this year, met some great hunters and good people. Here's a shout out to new friends that I met TH'ing this year like East Coast Hunter, Smokey the Cat, TrebleHunter, Carolina Tom, Scrappy, Bartek, Smittyman, Loco Hunter and N3tuf. Without you people I don't think I'd have found half of what I found.
Anyway, There were way too many things to post pics of so I'm just going to show the very best.
Last January we made our annual trip down to Vero Beach, FL where someone must have flipped their blanket on the beach and lost this pair of Tiffany earrings and a titanium wedding band:
Found this Colonial belt/trade ax in a park in Edison, NJ:
East coast hunter (Charlie) set up a hunt at a colonial site in Staten Island where I met a great bunch of guys, some mentioned above and I picked out this beautiful NY state militia EXCELSIOR button c. 1819:
Charlie also set up another hunt on a colonial site where I found my oldest spanish silver, a 1750 0ne reale, also found were a 1773 and a 1781 half reale:
.
Also found on this site was the biggest crotal bell I'd ever found and also a brass figure of cupid sitting on a harp (I just thought these were cool):
In September, a group of us went down to Delaware to Coin Beach to search the shore for coins from the wreck of the Faithful Steward, a ship that went down in 1785 carrying 400 barrels of British and Irish coins. We met some friends of my friends including Woody (N3tuf). We had a great morning hunt even though we didn't find any coins from the wreck. At a nearby beach I found probably my biggest bucket lister, a 1788 Spanish gold half escudo!
Next I went to upstate, NY near Coperstown and found this beautiful 1783 Nova Constellatio:
555
Next adventure was near Gettysburg where SmokeyTheCat invited TrebleHunter and I down to search a Union outpost where we did pretty good. I found another couple of bucket-listers, a eagle coat button in great shape and a 1834 capped bust dime. Also found were 3 silver half dollars (part of a cache) and a couple of other silvers, a few 3 ringers and some other civil war relics:
This was a great year for me, made some great finds and made some amazing new friends. That's what it's all about!
