I don't have a list per se but I would love to find a pocket knife, diamond ring, a fountain pen, a watch (working- yeah, right), and really anything that's interesting.

I've found a few pocket knives, but nothing special. I did find a knock-off Casio G-Shock watch last week at a park sitting next to a basketball court. Perfect working condition, but not my stile. Happy hunting!

Draped bust silver is the top on my list. Hope to find one before my time is up.

Anything seated & any Gold coin!

That's quite the list you have there! Looks like you are working your way through it too.

The only things I am still waiting to find are a gold coin and a silver dollar.

I don't have an exact list but...

an old gun
rings! found a few but never enough
anything gold
a cache
gold nugget(s)
earlier than 1900's coins
knives
1800's projectiles
swords
cannonballs

That's all I can really think of. So far I've done ok on the the gold (except nuggets) but everything else still remains hidden to me! I'm always open to anything old and cool though!
