When I started detecting last November, I had an idea that I would take to the hobby. I didn't realize it infects your blood.
Today was the day I found my 100th silver coin. 1950 Washington Quarter. This was my goal, and I am very happy to complete it much earlier than expected.
The anatomy of the 100 is interesting to me so I will give a break down.
1- 1802 1 Reale
2- Silver Halves ( 1 Ben Franklin, 1 Walker)
20- Silver Quarters (2 Barber, 2 Standing Liberty, 16 Washington)
74 - Silver Dimes ( 5 Barber, 42 Mercs, 27 Rosies)
3 - Silver War Nickels ( I know some people don't count these, but 40% is enough for me)
Other interesting coin finds: 21 Indian Heads, 5 Buffalo Nickels, 2 V Nickels, 1 Large Cent, and 400 or so Wheat Pennies.
I plan on slowing down the numbers and concentrating on the big fish. My new goal is to find at least 1 seated coin before the year is up.
