It has been a fun year of hunting, most of my finds where found while hunting in groups and that makes it even more fun. Most of my finds were from digging iffy signals so this season I will try to dig even more, Man I sure hope to find more here in the 2010 season.

Look at all those war nickels!

Great stuff, Kermit!!!

I found an identical Lord's Prayer tag at an old house near me.

I hope to see you out there more this year! Good luck on your goals!

One of these days I've got to get out with you guys. I need to learn that new Minelab EX SE. But trust me TOMORROW ain't going to be it. It's predicted to be below zero here in DuPage tonight. I won't even want to get out from underneath the blanket in the AM.

You rock, Kermit!

I'm just shocked at the sheer number of rosies from last year. As I've said before, been doing this a long time and rosies were low on my count, lower than mercs or barbers for the last 20 years. You and a lot of other guys around here are going back and really cleaning up on them goodies!

Let's think bigger, older pocket spills this year and maybe some nicely minted shiny yellows too!

Kermit,
you had an awesome year . Here's to an even more awesome 2010

Awesome finds man! I love your videos, keep 'em coming this year!

 

[snowskate]

Kermit,

What can I say? You've had an exceptional year. Like you said, most of the fun is the time spent hunting with the bros. I can hunt all day and find nothing, but if I'm out with any of you guys, it's totally worth it. A lot of great moments in '09. Getting chased away by a cop, getting rained on in the woods, being fooled by a Cracker Jack presidential token (thought it was gold!), finding an old pocket spill and filming the coins as they all came out, urban bottle-clockers, digging soda cans from the middle of treestumps, almost having a huge tree fall on us in the woods that time, the mysterious purple dildo, and much much more. What would all this have been if it were just me?

You did great in '09, no doubt you'll do just as good if not better in '10 (however...good luck on the twenty cent peice! lol). As soon as this cold stuff goes away, we've got to hit the dirt.

Joe
