    My 2010 year in review

    I'm gonna keep it simple this year and condense some of my finds. I had another great year and I can't show all the individual relics and coins that are special to me. Some of my finds are: 268 flat buttons, 38 Large Coppers, 1 very damaged lol GW Inagural Button, 34 silvers, 2 war nickles, 3buffs, 1 V, 3 Shield nickels, 3 two cent pieces, 17 Indians, 3 Flying Eagle cents, 102 1/2 Wheats, $46.44 in clad rofl, and a ton of colonial and post colonial relics and triple that in trash I hope everyone had a great year. Here's some of the pics.

    You definitely had a great year George. It really is amazing how many old buttons can be found at cellar holes. That is a very nice variety of finds, and I know you have many other sweet finds not posted above. I didn't pick up any flying eagle cents this year. You should have left in the ground one of the three you found so I could find it. lol

    Congrats! I wish you another very successful new year! thumbsup01

    George , what can i say i was with you on most of those great finds . your large copper total (39) was astonishing especially considering you gave up alot of your free detecting time to volunteer for the Peqot Indian Museum ( which by the way the brass point should be in this post as well) , you found the very first brass kettle Indian arrow point from the very historic 1637 Pequot War battle site. which was a beautiful piece by the way you found you first nova constellatio coin thumbsup01 your first war of 1812 era button thumbsup01 another GW button this year thumbsup01 thumbsup01 one of the best standing liberty quarters i ever seen dug a great number of really nice relics . you had one heck of a great year i'm glad i was there to share it with you friend , congrats George .


    p.s. i ain't taking it easy on you next year old man . lol lol rofl

    Umm... NO Angel lol MY flying eagles I'm sure that with this years new system, you should find some of your own. They usually read around 12-25. I don't think you were very focused on that number last year lol

    Not reading our relic posts aye? lol They are kinda boring if you are not into relics. I'll have more coin stuff this year as I plan on hunting a couple times a week. More park stuff hopefully

    It is pretty lame Randy lol Angie, most of that clad count was from park hunting w/ Angel. At least I got something for the beatings I took
