I posted my goals for last year and reach all except one. The post kept me focused and helped me when deciding on what sites to hit. So I'm doing it again for 2008....feel free to post your own goals (or wish lists).

1. A SLQ (with or without a date although I would be thrilled with a date)
2. Five piece of gold. Last year I had three as my goal and only got one but I did very little water hunting.
3. A key date coin - any will do for now.
4. A large cent in good condition.
5. A silver coin older the 1850.
6. A Pre 1900s military button.

That is all I can think of right now but I feel this list will keep me focused.

Good luck to all in 2008 and hopefully the weather starts getting warmer soon.

Wow... Let's see...

1) $300.00 in clad
2) a Gold Ring
3) 3 Silver Rings
4) total of 20 silver coins of any kind
5) hunt MS River Banks here in my hometown
6) hunt a stream running through some land we own 3 hrs south of my house
7) hunt a beach...means I have to take a vacation :)

get my detector in and start hunting...I have found probaly 100 pieces of silver coinage in my house and really ready to start hunting out and about.
 

Here goes

1. Buffalo nickel
2. Silver quarter other than Washington
3. At least 20 silver coins (had 11 this year)
4. 100 Wheat Pennies
5. An Indian Head or two
6. 2500 total coins
7. Gold ring/jewelry
8. Military button older than 1900
9. More Civil War Bullets (only found 1 last year)
10. Cross
 

1.) Spend more time detecting.

That's it. Everything else is "found money". :D
 

I'm a newbie, so my list should be modest.

1) Get a detector ;D I've decided on an MXT (and maybe an M6 for the wife)
2) 3 good rings, any color.
3) 1 merc
4) 1 silver quarter
5) 1 Indian Head
6) $50 in clad
7) 1 pre 1900 coin
8) 1 silver half (preferably a Ben)
 

What ever I can get my hands ;D

Nah, I don't really have a goal other than just having the time to get out and hunt some of those places that I have permission to go to.
 

Learning about my DFX more in depth.

1. A King George Copper from Kentucky :o
2. Capped Bust Silver

That pretty much sums it up. If I can get on a site that gives me either of those, then any other goals I have for 2008 will be met.


Best Wishes,

2001 penny!

The way those zinc pennies come out of the ground it will be hard to find one in good condition but I wish you the best!!

It will be quite a few years before I add either of those to my list of goals. I hope you get them both...Good luck.
 

I wish everyone the best in 2008...I hope you find everything on your lists and more.

Happy Hunting!!!

I would like to find anything nice right in front of my dumb brother in law. It is a pleasure to cut across in front of him and find a target. He does the same to me but doesn't find the stuff in front of me. Since I mainly hunt beaches and the water anymore, I am looking for that Rolex everyone tells me they lost over near the buoy.

I'm up to three pieces of gold but have not hit any of my other goals. I'll have to change that this weekend.

I think my goals (Few at this time) are...........

1)100+ Silver
2) More Clad than last ear

This is not a goal, but I would like to find a seated coin somewhere down the road.

I hit goals 1 (I did not dig it but won it at my detecting club so I'll have to keep that one on my 2009 goals) ,2, 3 and 4. I still need 5, 6 and I'm updating one to be a dug SLQ.
