Well, my first year of detecting has come to an end, and here are my totals for 2005. I didn't really start seroiusly hunting until I got my ACE250 in March (used a BH Pioneer 101 before that), and didn't really figure out my ACE250 until mid June or so. That plus the fact that I usually can only hunt a few hours a week because of work led to lower totals than I was hoping for, but I think 2006 is going to be a much better year. Here they are:
Total Clad Coins: 1,059
Face Value: $66.65
Quarters: 126
Dimes: 246
Nickels: 92
Pennies: 595
11 Wheaties: oldest 1916-P
1 Indian Head Penny, dated 1882 (my oldest coin)
1 silver Rosie, dated 1964
2 Tokens: RI and NH transit tokens
1 $1.00 bill found in a sandlot playground
4 sterling silver rings
1 sterling silver necklace
2 gold rings (not found, but won in a metal detecting contest, so I count them, lol)
Several dozen antique bottles found in 2 old trash dumps in CT. Ages range from late 1800s to 1950s.
Several keys, bullets, fishing lures, 1 dogtag, and 1 machete. Yes, a machete!
My find of the year was the sterling Tiffany & Co ring found on a freshwater beach. I know, not earth shattering, but it was my first silver, so I love it! Pic of the ring is below, and thanks for looking!
