Well, Kirk and Zoyboy got me all fired up with their 2007 compilation posts. I figured I would follow suit and make a post of my own of my 2007 finds. My detector has been put away for a while now. The last few "potential" detecting days for me were rained out and now that the snow is falling, my season is definitely done.
I got a late start this season (my second...if you dont count the few years I used a detector in the mid 80's as a teenager) I had major reconstructive surgery on my left foot and ankle in January. 8 weeks in a cast. Another 8 weeks in physical therapy. I didn't even pick the detector up until early June. Spent the first couple of months schoolyard and park hunting. Found a few modern silvers and some jewelry but nothing really exceptional or unique.
At the beginning of August I got the opportunity to hunt a large colonial era site that consisted of a few farm fields. It ended up being pretty productive and due to some of the finds I made there, I am now hopelessly addicted to metal detecting
I dug numerous relics and several large coppers at this site. I can only hope that the plow will bring a few more relics to the surface next year.
So, without any further ado, here is the list of my 2007 finds followed by a few pictures.
58 Wheat pennies
2 silver Roosevelt dimes
2 Mercury dimes
2 Barber dimes
1 silver washington quarter
2 Buffalo nickels
3 silver Wartime nickels
about 1500 modern clad coins
Those were my modern coin finds. They slowed way down once I started finding things at the colonial site. Here are the coin totals from that site..
9 large coppers....
1828 Matron Head LC
1847 Braided Hair LC
1846 Braided Hair LC (tall date variety)
2 unidentifiable coppers
1 unidentifiable cut copper
King George II (no date)
1786 Vermont copper
1787 Vermont copper
About 60 assorted buttons
Numerous relics
1876 CC Seated Liberty dime.
1864 two center......pretty good condition
4 Indian Heads...1907, 1868, 1864, and a no date
In conclusion I would like to thank everyone for being so supportive and for helping to ID those things I was clueless about. I've picked up alot of tips and hints this year and all have helped me improve in some way. I didn't include all of the modern silver coins in the picture. Everyone knows what roosies, buffalos and wheaties look like right?
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE IN 2008!!!!
