    Re: Next Year's Goal

    I plan on finding it all lol But if I can't have it all, I would love to get a Seated Quarter to complete my set. Have the Seated half dime, dime, and half dollar but can't find that quarter Also more park style and house hunts for sure. I need to get some practice finding silver with that machine. When you make it out this way Angie,... Dan, Dave and I are going to bury every ox knob we have for you lol You will scorn them ox knobs rofl

    Trust me, the second the weather turns around I'm going to be there. Ox knobs beware! rofl

    Seated quarter. That's a good one, and I have also found seated half dime, dime, and half dollar but not a seated quarter.

    Re: Next Year's Goal

    Angie, I really hope you get you ox knob and barber half next year. Make a list of the 10 things you want to find for 2011. I did a list 2 years ago and found everything except the gold coin. Here was my list for 2008.

    1- a 1978 quarter
    2- a soda can
    3- a 1992 zinc penny
    4- a dr. pepper soda cap
    5- a cool pulltab
    6- a big piece of iron
    7- a hubcap
    8- a ball of aluminum foil
    9- a 1972 dime
    10- a Gold Coin

    Try doing a list. It really works! <: rofl
    Having fun is what it is all about!

    Re: Next Year's Goal

    I'm shooting for any silver.. . Thats still a hard list Steve if you don't get out to look.. I've never got a gold coin yet, but where I live I have a good chance. The best I can do so far is just gold nuggets.

    Re: Next Year's Goal

    Good luck on your goals, Angie.

    Mine are pretty weird --

    I'd like to find an Iowa state quarter (I've found all the others).
    I'd like to find a type coin I've never found yet.
    I have a lifetime goal of finding a silver coin in each of the 73 municipalities of Chester County -- such a goal sounds weird and geeky, but it really forces you to work to uncover new sites.
    I'd like to find 50 silvers (I don't see finding over 100 again, but we'll see)

    And the biggest is just get out as much as possible.

    Oldest: 1755 Spanish silver; 1800 half dime | 1842 seated half | 1857 seated quarter | 516 silver coins in 2011!

    Re: Next Year's Goal

    My goal is not really unusual or spectacular. I would like to find a gold ring.
    Tomorrow should be a great day, provided nothing stops me from preventing it from not happening.

    Re: Next Year's Goal

    I'm gonna shoot for 100 silver coins,,,but I'll take 80
    50 Indian pennies
    Barber half
    Seated half
    half dime
    20 cent silver

    It's just gonna feel good to get out,,,finally
    I can only please one person per day,,,today is not your day,,,tomorrow isn't looking good either.

    2011 silver coins> 18,,,,13 IH,,,,2 V nickels,,,2 Shield nickels
    2010 silver coins >4,,,,the year that wasn't
    2009 silver coins> 77> 49 IHs> 15 V nickels>9 Buffs

    Re: Next Year's Goal

    Wow... some very nice stuff on everyone's goal list this year. Many things I dare not think of yet.

    I'm going to move a few of the things that I didn't get last year to the new season.

    1 - a SLQ. I hit Washingtons and Barbers... just not the in between.

    2 - a gold ring... Found many plated and some gold filled. Gotta get the real deal.

    3 - an IH fatty. I found a few just one year off... But no cigar.

    4 - a large cent.

    Here's hoping many of your goals are met this season.

    Re: Next Year's Goal

    i say a prayer before every hunt . not for success, but for a safe hunt. that being said. anything seated would be nice and anything in the barber department. since i started detecting i have found one injun per year so that would be nice too . and actually a gold double eagle would be welcome but the biggest one i hope for is a large cent,,,,,,,,,,,,, just one .. ok 6 or 7 would be nice too
