Well, I had a wonderful 2009 season, and collected $73.72 in modern clad, a new record for me, doubling what I got last year! I'll try to keep this short and sweet so I'll just talk about the photos. The first few pictures are my jewelry and non clad finds. I collected a total of 15 wheaties, meager, I know, but for my area I feel I managed fairly well. I also pulled two silver dimes, a 62 D Rosie, and a 63 Canadian. My oldest coin to date is now a 1919-S wheat penny that I found on the 31st--what a way to end the year!! This beat my other oldest coin, a 1935 buffalo nickel. I found my first dollar and half dollar coins this year, quite a surprise to dig those up! Also I found two 10k gold rings, my first, and a sterling man's ring. Another surprise was a couple of Euros and Cayman Island coins I found!
Then here are my relic finds. The doll's head was found while bottle digging near an old house in south Asheville. Included in my relics are civil war bullets, (the bottom two below the three casings) and some 50 caliber bullets and shell casing from WWII! I also found some square nails, a Timex watch that stopped tickin', and lots of keys and knives. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year. Happy Hunting!!
Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteAshby,
ReplyDeleteGreat job for the year! Congrats on doubling your clad and especially for the silver, wheaties, rings and relics. Keep at it! What do you anticipate you will find in 2010?
Take care,
Steve
Thanks Steve!
ReplyDeleteI hope that I can break the $100 barrier, find more silver coins...ie: Quarters preferrably! Also, I'm still working towards my goal of an ounce of gold, so along with new insight into my machine, those are my goals. (Oh and break my 1919 record year...:D)
This is very cool Ashby. Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteNice finds, Ashby, I'm sure you'll do well in 2010. Keep us posted!
