We Had A Good Year (pic heavy)

This past year was a very good year for us. We had a lot of firsts, finding more Large Cents and Indian Heads in any previous year. Diane had several personal firsts, Flying Eagle, Half Dime, Two Cent piece amongst them. Our silver finds were not large, typically we hunt fields primarily as our main focus. Our hunting partner Doug was gone quite a bit this summer so we did not get out as much on door knocking this year. Several new field sites turned out to be very good to us.

For those that have not seen our videos here is my main hunting partner, my sweet wife Diane!

Spectacular finds and wonderful photos, Tony! The average age of your finds is certainly older than what we find here in Illinois. You are fortunate to be able to hunt in an area where there are so many large cents in the fields. Even the marbles are older!

Diane had some terrific firsts too! :yes:

Congrats on the great year that you guys had, and I'm really looking forward to seeing your finds in 2015! :thumbsup02:

Tony, your finds are wonderful but I have to say...what I envy most is that you share the hobby with your wife. That is special! Congrats on another great year (together). :notworthy:

"We had a good year"....Indeed you did ! :congrats:

I like these year in review posts, give me a chance to say thank you for being here on AD. You and Diane had some great finds this year.
I never knew what the two of you would be posting. Looking forward to your videos and best of luck in 2015.

WoW, great year congrats!

Good Year?? I would say a most excellent year. I enjoyed reading your posts all season.

Thanks for posting. Always enjoy reading your posts, and quite some impressive finds you have there! Really interested in the no date LC. Just seems weird with the coin in such good shape and no date. :confused: Something done intentionally way back when? Any thoughts?
