The end of the year has come at last and I had a blast. To show my good times here are my finds.
Missing is all the scrap and $36.65 in clad money because of mishaps. 2010 a time to start again.
So to all a Happy & Prosperous New Year.

Thanks for looking and cheers to 2010
 

some real cool stuff!
 

Very nice finds! Happy New Year!
 

Thank you Goes4ever and History Hunter. Hope to do better this year.
Happy Hollidays
 

Awesome finds for 2009, I hope 2010 is just as good or better.

Thank you Dman and Seger.
Dman I'm planning on it being way better.

Seger: the 2 1/2 cent token was my first one found the first day out. I went to this place by myself, dug it and saw silver and got excited and started to turn around and say see what I found, but I remembered I was alone. LOL I think pretty much my brother was there in spirit. He died in Last January and I has plans for him and I to do a lot of metel detecting. So I think I was kind of talking to his spirit.
HH to you both in 2010
 

Sorry about the loss of your brother, it's a bummer for sure!

The reason I like tokens so much as they are such a huge part of American history that really seems to have been lost until we find them in the ground. Young people today have no clue that they even existed.

That matchbook safe? striker? I don't know what they were actually for, but I had never seen one until I found mine & now I have seen 2 since then.
