Everyone has awesome plans and hopes! In September I'm detecting in Europe, so I'd like to find something in Old England pre-dating anything we find here in New England. At home I guess the top of my list would be a tree shilling or flowing hair cent. I know a few people who've dug them so its possible...I've never heard of anyone digging a gold coin so I don't hold out any hope of that.

Haven't posted in some time, but I do drop in now and then to see what everyone is digging up, I went once once last summer, haven't done much of anything for about a year, lost my son about a year ago 35 years old, been tough on the family, so not much of an interest in anything for awhile, hopefully I get out more this summer, never had a list of finds I want I'm just as happy with ole spoon as a coin. First sugaring season, then turkey hunting, then racing for the summer and some dirt fishing maybe some R/C flying.

I am very sorry about the loss of your son. I can't even imagine. I know you will never get over it, but it's good that you are slowly getting back to activities that you enjoy. It's what your son would have wanted, most likely. Hold on to memories of the good times.
