April 30 was the end on my 17th year of metal detecting. Not my best year, but it was a good one. Second best for total dollar value found and about average for total gold and silver finds (including silver coins).
For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet I’m a digger. I would rather dig an iffy signal that turns out to be junk than pass up a signal that might be good. Believe me I do dig a lot of trash, but a fair number of the iffys have been nice surprises. As it says at the bottom of the page “if your not digging trash you are missing treasure.”
Listed below are my stats for the year, not a complete listing but it hits all the highlights and after that some pictures of my favorite finds. (Total means ALL including any year, type or kind of metal used)
Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
