2017 was another fun detecting year for me. I did particularly well in the nickel department this year with a personal best for all of the following.... of war niks (17) of Buffs (28) and of V niks (10). A Shield Nik is still on the bucket list for me. I love finding nickels because (as you all know) they are often pull tabs or other trash signals. So digging these up makes me feel more confident about my detecting skills.
I also had a personal best of Indians this year with 37. Below is a pic of the better ones. Also found a personal best with 3 fatty Indians and a personal best of 3 civil war tokens. (Gee the more I write this up the more I realize how great of a year I had!)
And here is my pile of silvers and most of my silver jewelry. One odd thing that I noticed this year was that although I found 105 silver coins only 6 were quarters and no halves this year.
Looking forward to the Spring and being able to get out and detect again. I sold my deus and am buying the new Equinox with the money I got from the deus so I hope that this will help me clean out all of the old public areas that I have done so well at over the last 5 years.

Thanks for looking and keep warm!
