    My paltry finds for 2016

    I got a good deal of clad this year but not much as far as rings or old coins. No gold.

    Good luck to everyone in 2017! The 1917 walker and the 1876-S quarter along with 1 of the I.H.'s
    and three of the buffys all came from a parking lot tear out in town. The cash in the last picture was from the pennies and my last few hunts. The foreign coin is a 500 yen

    2016 treated you pretty nice. I see a seated quarter, a CWT, and a ton of cash. Some very nice rings also. How old was the area where you got the Seated???

    The city was tearing up a parking area that was located behind the stores on the main street through town. We were incorporated as a township in 1863.
