2011 Year in Review - lots of pics!!

[Bill D. (VA)]

It was too difficult to try and gather all the best finds for one group shot so I decided to post pics of my finds from 36 different hunts in 2011. Some have as little as 1 keeper while others have 50+. These are being posted in 3 groups of 12 all in the same thread. Sorry for all the pics but this was the easiest way to get my finds out there. Enjoy, and HH to all in 2012!

The elephant button came from a site that was mostly CW era but with a few colonial relics thrown in. The button seems to maybe be early-to-mid 1800s but can't be sure. It was very deep and was near some of the colonial finds so I'm not really sure of its age. Neat looking find though.
