2019 Wrap Up - 94 Silver Coins + 6 Bucket Listers!

[washingtonian]

Hey everyone!

Had another fun year digging in the dirt! Didn’t have nearly as much success as last year but pretty darn close. I got to hunt with old friends, make new ones, and stay on the continual research train. Thanks for following along for the ride. Here are some of the highlights.



94 Silver Coins. The best are:
-1883-S Morgan
-1874 Seated Half Dollar
-1902-S Barber Half
-52-S, 57, 63-D Franklin Halves
-1892, 1909-D Barber Quarters
-No Date SLQ
-1918 KGV Canadian Quarter
-00, 07, 07-D, 08-S, 12-S Barber Dimes
-42 KGV Canadian Dime
-63 Young Liz Canadian Dime
-45-D Philippines 10 Centavos




I also found 12 other silver objects and a gold ring in the final hour (literally yesterday).




I knocked six bucket listers off:
-Trade Token
-Canadian Large Cent
-King George V Silver
-King George VI Silver
-Non-Canadian Foreign Silver (Philippines 10 Centavos)
-Seated Half Dollar

I set personal highs in the following:
-Buffalo Nickels (8)
-Indian Head Pennies (11)





I found 486 wheats (largely non-pictured) and found a few relics I’m really happy with:
-1909 Alaska Yukon Pacific Expo watch fob
-1937-1938 California Chauffer badge
-1949 California Centennial Fob
-1940 Seattle Cat License





Excited to see what the new year brings. I think my finds will decline a little but hopefully the quality can stay consistent!!

Best of luck in 2020!

Thanks so much Jer! Definitely You don't see those too often. The two I found are on opposite ends of the condition statement. Morgan might be a VF/XF. Seated half is an AG haha.

BOOMIN Year!!!! Congrats

Thanks so much, it was a good and memorable one!

Awesome rake!

Thank you!!

Great pile O treasure. Thanks for sharing, grats and may 2020 be awesome as well.

Thank you and good luck to you as well!

Wow! You really raked in the big silver!

Yeah! I was fortunate to get a fair amount of it for sure. I know it can be hard to come by. In 2017 I found 24 silvers and only 2 were quarters and none bigger than that. Seems like it can be pretty random!

Wash, another great year my friend..... 30 years and I still don't have a Silver dollar.... A seated half is a super good find , too.... Best of luck for 2020 Basss

Thank you basss. Keep up the good work. You've found lots of cool things I envy. Your time will come!

You killed it last year and I'm sure you will again this year.

Thank you my friend. I hope I can muster up the energy to keep rolling in 2020! This hobby can take a toll on your body.

That’s a super set of silver coins.

Better than I’ve ever done. Congrats buddy.

Thanks CT, you're still young yet. ;-) You have some great years ahead!

I really like your Portland Rose Festival medal.

Thank you! I agree. That is a really cool one and I'd never seen one before.

Wow! Awesome finds & old coins! Congrats

Thank you so much! Old coins are definitely what got me interested in this hobby and are still my favorite to find.

Looks like you had an incredible year! Hope 2020 will give up more. HH!

Thanks so much!

Congrats on another great year! I would have thought you would see more gold with the amount of silvers you found. I did not find any gold in 2019, I’m due... thx for sharing!

That's true. I've never been great at finding gold for whatever reason. Maybe I just don't hunt the right kinds of locations.

Awesome Year!!!! Congrats!!!!

Thanks Randy!
