2016 Detecting season complete

[Iron Patch]

I'll keep this short and sweet, much unlike myself. Certainly not much in the wicked finds department but I'll add close up shots of the few I'm most happy with to be adding to my collection... mostly because they are something different than what I've dug before.

My first early British shoe buckle.
Gold part of an early cufflink, first gold in a decade.
Large lead bale seal marked London
King and Constitution button

And my favorite find for 2016, I finally found myself a Machin's Mills copper. The bonus being it came out in about as good of condition as what can be expected here, and a great addition to my collection. So that's it for me until Spring when Ironhorse and I will fire it up again.

Looks like a good year to me. What are those brass pin looking things on the bottom left corner under the big buckle? found one and wasn't sure what it was, yours are the first I've seen.

 

[Tommy G]

Wow, you had an outstanding year! Congrats on some truly nice finds!

That is a whole lot of buttons. Wonder if they had the problem we do today with people wearing their pants below their butts...

Hope your year was enjoyable ? CHEERS!

I know this season wasn't up to your lofty standards but you knocked off a few good ones including that killer machins as well as that awesome king and constitution button. That gold link is incredible too. Next year will be a great one for you my frirnd

IP that is a hefty sack o' LOOT . my season will end when they pry the ATPro from my cold arthritic fingers_______________or the ground freezes

 

[Scrappy]

Wow, I'd forgotten how incredible that Machin Mills coin was. Early too! It pretty much doesn't get any better than that!

Great pile of loot IP and here's to a year well spent...

I'm impressed those are some great finds!!!!! Looks like you've been busy and its paid off great stuff for display cases..!!! Thanks for sharing all your cool finds I love the end of the year totals posts !!!!!!!!

 

[kcm]

That's awesome!! I wanted to post a pic of all my finds, but didn't want to do it with all the rust. So I cleaned all the rust away. ...There was nothing left!

That is TRULY an impressive season!!

 

[Wildcat1750]

Looks like you've been plenty busy this season!

 

[Don in SJ]

Glad you got out to hunt in 2016, very nice Machin's!!!

 

[ironhorse]

That's one of the ways the cookie crumbles, or so they say.
Even the little pieces taste just as sweet as the big bite; no banner military buttons or belt plates to fill up cases but you certainly dug some absolute quality relics this year.
Well, every year we are left wanting more it seems, but when you put it all on the table and step back and take a good look,it doesn't take too long to realize how well it all turned out

I love this stuff more than I like those chicks at the bottom. Cool stuff. Lots of work but it is worth it. Congrats.
