Full 46 minute video of all my finds is uploaded to my YT channel. =)
Living in Tennessee this year was challenging, because I had to stick to mediocre public properly not having many leads for private permissions (or knowing the area well) But I still made the best of it and had a great time. Moving twice put a dent in my hunting time. I got about 9 silvers before I left PA last January when we had a bit of an indian summer.
Funny that I got 3 big silvers this year and only 1 is a US coin. :shocked01:
The silver ring pictured is my first ring ever found with a real diamond. :grin:
Also got my first gold this year, a 10k gold and sterling silver ring. The metals are literally welded together on different parts of the ring. (It's a 1936 class ring)
The charm bracelet is all sterling. Funny thing is I found the last 3 pieces hunting the same spot 3 MONTHS after I found the 4 first pieces. It was scattered everywhere. :lol:
I can say I worked HARD for these finds. About half the silvers came from 4 different spots. So without finding a few go to spots it would have been very tricky. But I was more than happy to clean them out. :hystericallaugh:
I hope you all have a great 2014 hunting season! :grin:
