Hi all. I was hoping to get out one last day before the new year, but the snow just wouldnt have it. So I decided to round up the goodies and post my totals.
Found a total of 154 silver coins this year. Not as many as last year(158), but I'm pleased because my two year average comes to exactly 3 silver coins per week. That's a number I actually strive for week to week, so I'm thrilled it worked out that way for two years straight.
Also, I've landed a couple of amazing relics and my first real gold(broken ring with blue stone). The WWII army air corps crewmembers wings and the 112th infantry ring are two of my favorite finds ever.
I noticed an increase in my Washington quarters and rosies this year, along with a decrease in seated, indians and LCs. This I attribute to knocking more at 40s and 50s houses and less opportunity at the really old sites. Although my Barber count was up as well as my V nickels. So...I have no idea what im talking about:lol:!
Anywho, the totals:

1 '64 Kennedy half, 3 walker halves, 4 Barber Qs, 3 SLQ's, 20 Washington Q's, 7 Barber dimes, 59 mercs, 52 rosies, 4 wartime nickels, and lastly my best coin find of the year - my 1870 seated half dime.
*Not pictured are my indians(maybe 20), "V"s(6), LC's(3) and a handful of Buffalos. Not to mention a great many wheats(several hundred??)

Lastly, I'd like to thank everyone on the forum for providing yet another year of inspiration, kudos and the spirit of fun which I know is what we all love most about this place. Simply love it here.
Happy New Year All!!

Great finds you had a good year half dime is outstanding. HH george
 
You my friend have had an awesome year. Great totals and some very unique digs. I have yet to dig a Half Dime and the Service Wings and Ring are really sharp. Your two year consistency is fantastic. I hope your future is filled with a lot more shine. Congrats! Jack

Thanks Skeet. I'm already chomping at the bit to get out there again. Hopefully snow will be intermittent this winter. So far so good.

Thank you very much, Jack. My hobbies have come and gone over the years, but I simply never get tired of this one. Guess it's just hardwired into my system. Can't wait to see what we turn up in 2015! Good luck.

Thanks brotha. Uncle Tito happens to be paying a visit today in fact. On the twelver - if either of us ever gets it, it's going down that same day. Hope to get together soon. I'll bring some hand warmers for those delicate digits of yours. :p
 
Thank you everyone for the kind words. Best of luck to us all in 2015. May we all find that gold coin!
 
SON!! What an awesome year brother!! Congrats on all the Silverbacks! My goal in 2015 is to find half of what you found in 2014 - seriously. Again, awesome year.
