I want to wish everyone here the very best and a Merry Christmas ....
My detecting year is now over as I am officially on vacation with family from the 27th to January 9th in Arizona . So I would like to share a few of my best finds of 2016.
2016 wasn't my best year but I had many firsts which is was pretty surprising since I have been doing this hobby for a considerable amount of time.
my firsts.....
A whole complete half to a powder flask , I can't tell you how many small pieces I've recovered over the years but was happy to finally get one .
My oldest coin ever was this 1655 French Liard , not much to look at but still a " big find" to me
now on to my best finds for 2016.....
Without a doubt my best colonial shoe buckle was this small oddly ornate "knobbed" styled one and made it a unique find .
Although I had quite a few "good looking" large cents this year this 1819 was one of the sharpest front and back!
My best copper though was this Machin Mill's King George III counterfeit
And finally my seated quarter (my first) great way to end 2016
I hope to see a few of every ones "best of 2016" !!
Please post them , Thanks
Dan
