2020 wrap up

[The Dirt Fisherman]

Well, obviously the 2020 digging season has come to an end. In 2020 I knocked off many bucket listers even though I really had only been out a few times. So few that I don’t even think I dug $20 worth of clad. I dug a beautiful 1852 large cent (first large cent with a date), I finally caught my white whale (barber quarter), I found a trime, a half dime, my first “fatty” Indian. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined finishing the year with the last hunt that I had. I ended up digging 3 more bucket listers that I honestly thought I’d never dig. I finished up with a 2 cent coin, a matron head large cent, a “fatty” Indian, a barber dime, a silver Washington, and finally a half cent/classic head large cent spill. Half cent is my oldest dateable coin at 1800. After this past digging year I don’t have high hopes for 2021. It’ll be tough to top that. I wish you all the best in 2021 and don’t forget to dig the trashy signals.

Ps: I tallied up my 2019 and 2020 clad and it totaled $47.50

Actually there really Nice totals for the amount of time out.
It only takes a few hunts to make a season feel worthwhile-so all the best in 2021

Congrats, yes you had a good year. The half dime and any large cent is on my list yet.
