Well that's it, it's a wrap. 2016 wrap up

[cjon455]

Well here it is, my 2016 wrap-up. As you all know, I hardly got out this year like I normally do. I think I made like 10 or 12 posts all year which is way way down from prior years. My addition project took up the majority of my spare time. That being said, I am happy with the results of my limited time this year. Managed 5 coppers including 2 great KGII's 2 large cents, and a good shape 1828 half cent. Got 24 silver coins, including an undatable 1/2 reale, and a bucket lister Franklin half. No slqs or seated this year but that's ok. Also got 3 miscellaneous silver items for a total of 27 silver, also way down from prior years. Only 3 buffs and 3 indians this year, no shields or v nicks. I have a total of 154 wheats, way way down from last year's 330+. I managed some pretty sweet flat buttons including the incredible gold gilded one. Got some crotals, a barrel spigot, my 1st ox knob, and some other odds and end relics. All in all it was fun when I did actually get out. Glad I got to hunt with some good people. Also glad I got to help Nepa-Will nail down his bucket lister large cent, that was a great day. Hoping 2017 is a great year for all of us. Merry Christmas and Happy New year guys!

Looks to me like you did good for not swinging much. Nice haul

MARRY CHRISTMAS

Chris it's not last year's haul but not too bad since your wife is only allowing you to only drive 20 nails a day either that or you are building a huge addition. Merry Christmas and next digging year will be here before you know it.

I like it! A nice assortment of finds. Any year with a half cent, British copper, Spanish silver, and an intact barrel tap (to name a few) is far from shabby! Merry Christmas back

I have been wondering what happen to you.. I figured you went stealth mode... Awesome job on your finds for the year.

Nothing wrong with a year like that with limited time to hunt!! Big silver, Spanish silver and the old coppers alone would have been enough for me. Congrats on a Great year!!
