2020 Totals

[Noah_D]

Well folks, it's a little late but here it is. Pictured below is everything I found in 2020 minus a silver washington, a couple axes, a gold earring, a few crotal bells and a some other odds and ends that I either forgot about or returned to landowners. You can see everything better if you click on the pictures and enlarge them.


I ended the year with:

• 1 Gold earring (return)
• 14 silver coins and relics
  • 1 sterling earring, 1 belt buckle, and part of a matchbox
  • 1853 Trime, 2 barber dimes, 4 mercs, 1 barber quarter, 2 washingtons, and 1 barber half
• 12 Coppers (or 13 if you include the Qianlong Cash coin)
  • 8 LCs (oldest 1820)
  • 1831 KWIV halfpenny
  • 1837 HT token
  • 1864 2c
  • Half of a Victorian penny that was turned into a washer (so I guess it's a farthing? lol)
• 1 1857 Flying Eagle, and 14 IHs (oldest 1859)
• 4 Military buttons
  • 2 1820s Navy
  • 2 Civil War Era Marines
• A small bowl full of clad
• A bunch of other odds and ends... I'll attach some individual pictures in a comment below

Oh and for the record, that was 166 hours of hunting.

Haha, I dug so much trash this year that I ran out of buckets... there were definitely a few days where I was hurting afterward.

Right there that shows many a little here and there it all adds up as a very good season after all. Congrats on the totals Noah, and all the best to you in the 2021 season.

It's something I have yet to do is to photo a years worth of finds.
If I recall correctly I did a silver count for 2008..........

It definitely does add up pretty fast... that's a lot of short 1-3 hour hunts (with a few longer ones though of course). Do you usually record your finds pepperj? The archie in me feels guilty if I don't lol.
