What Should You Have Found By Now?

Most of us have a list of coins/items that we would like to find...but is there one item you thought for sure you'd have dug by now? I haven't found any 20th century half dollars. Happy holidays all, Drew
PS Anyone who adds an item to this thread is guaranteed to find it this year. :thumbsup01:
 
I've been detecting colonial sites for quite a while now and have many "have not found but should have by now" items ,

an iron horse stirrup
a liberty cap large cent
a decorative watch winder (a few plain ones)
a musket ram rod guide
any kind of campaign medal or token
a Spanish 1 or 2 reale coin
 
It seems that my fellow cellar hole hunters find these all the time, so I thought by now I would have found:

  • a COMPLETE crotal bell
  • a silver thimble
  • MA copper

:shocked04::shocked04::shocked04: And just when you think you know someone ....wham! :lol: I would have never guessed all of them.

Mine are:

Gold coin
Liberty capped half cent
Rev war button
USA button
Higley
Draped bust silver
Any 1652 silver
 
I've had my E-Trac for three years now, and I still haven't found a large cent with it. They really shouldn't be that elusive here in Illinois.
 
I should have found a pulltab by now. :hystericallaugh: just kidding, I have a basketfull.

Things I should have found:

Buffalo nickel
Silver Rosie
 
But Les, you'll find what you mention here...as I did today. Fish Fish I got my 20th century half! George and Dan won't get what they asked for as their lists are too long :lol:
Also got my third rein terret of the week :shocked01:
Now I kinda wish I asked for a gold coin in this thread :)

Planning on planting finds for people, drew? Lol.

Judging by one place I hunted being used since 1658, and a colonial home, and two old schools I hit, I would have thought anything before 1900. I'm not picky
