Thank you AD for my 1'st year of detecting.

[Trooper Bri]

Well, 7 months anyways.

Not going to do a wrap up since there wasn't a whole lot to wrap. A nice layout photo will do since it's all been seen already.
Glad I was pointed to this site, and thanks to everyone for the support and reading some of my underwhelming reports. I'm learning a lot from you guys, and wish I had found detecting a long time ago. Amazing what gets pulled out of the ground here in CT.

Met some great people as well, and hope to meet more. Thank you very much Dan, Rob, Al, and Lee for the invites and helping the noob. Especially Dan and Lee. Going to work hard on permissions this year and pay ya'll back. Good luck and HH in 2015 everyone!

Brian , i would be very proud of that picture and those finds (especially for only 7 months being in this hobby) if they were mine ! you did very well and no doubt do even better this year , it was a pleasure to meet you and detect a couple of times , we'll definitely do some more in 2015.

As Dan stated, that's a photo to be proud of. As far as first years go we are probably tied for finds. Definitely we will be hunting together again in 2015 as I need to hear your "yell and dance" again.

[Tony Two-Cent]

Without question, you have done EXTREMELY well in your first 7 months of detecting! That is a wonderful photo, and anyone would be proud of those finds!

Looking forward to seeing what you dig up in 2015!

I'm definitely very happy with my 1'st season guys. Especially towards the end. I should have replaced "underwhelming reports" with "clad filled reports". My bad, poorly worded. And no more clad pics anyways.

Tried laying my finds out in groups like you guys do, but it just didn't pop like laying it out in a collage. Taking pictures of an idiot holding a fish is much easier than getting the lighting right for coin and relic porn. Phew, so much to learn.

Congrats on a great first season. you found a lot of cool stuff this year.
Can't wait to see your 2015 posts.

[Nesdore]

Congrats on a great first year Bri you had some awesome finds some I could only dream of hope 2015 is a great year for you.

O and "coin and relic porn" you almost made me wet my britches

[OxShoeDrew]

I looked for this post after you mentioned your "collage." They don't let me out of the relic section very much, I guess because I am one
You had a wonderful 7mons. I hope we get to meet up again! You're picture is tastefully done

a toasty 14 degrees tomorrow and im still up for it , the words dogs, Englishman , and mad come to mind.

[Ill Digger]

I like the collage picture! Only thing is I wanna ask about every little piece!
Nice group of goodies Bri! Not too shabby for 7 months.
Congrats!
Good luck in the new year! I'll be watching for your posts!

[Trooper Bri]

Thanks guys. Much appreciated, and hope to find some of the stuff you've dug.

I did a small silver hoot at that farm house in my town we dug. Wish I could go tomorrow, unfortunately the corporate monster calls. Thanks for the call Sunday too, but had snow removal duty for family.
My schedule has changed to a 4 day week. I'm off Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday now. And not afraid of the cold. I have plenty of ice fishing gear that would be prime for dirt fishing. Pop up 4-man shanty, portable heater, sled, etc. I'd love to do a winter woods hunt if I ever figure out how to find a site.

I thought you said I was the only one who hadn't done the silver dance (up until last time we got out). You are a crazy wanka (not literally) to get out in this cold. I wonder how the field is dig-able when the snow storm on Sat it was just starting to be frozen in the woods. Logs were hard to move, even kicking with steel toes trying to move them. Good Luck out there if you go today.

hope you have a wonderful year in 2015. You did outstanding for your first year detecting. Well done Trooper Bri

[mownomo]

You had a great 2014. The pic tell it all. Just imagine what 2015 has in store. You are soooo right. This forum is the place to be, for the beginner and the veteran. Thanks for all your good posts.

[BTV Digger]

Have a great year and luck in your MD adventures. Best.

[Restoring Your Finds]

Some very nice finds there !!! And as Dan said, specially in only 7 months in the hobby !

Congrats !

[kpmoose]

Definitely finds to be proud of Brian. You've done very well for only 7 months. I too would like to get out with more members next year, yourself included amongst many others.

[GA1dad]

Looks like a great first year! There's several things in that pic I'm envious of!

[leslie(nova scotia)]

Nothing shabby there me son. 2015 will be your year!
