2016 was a decent year. It started out with fewer hunts than the prior year but I picked it back up in the fall.
6 gold totally 24.6 grams, in order:
2.2g 14k earring (lake)
5.5g 10k necklace (lake)
4.2g 14k pendent (lake - found on necklace)
0.6g 14k ring (lake)
8.4g 14k ring (lake) - wahoo!
2.6g 14k ring (dirt)
1.1g 14k ring (dirt)
6 wheat cents
zero silver coins
My first ever Tootsie car
My first ever skeleton key (tiny)
A white Swiss Army knife
33 headstamps (I'm one of those nutz that likes finding these because they're the oldest things I've found so far)
Other 2016 finds:
23 keys
35 bullet shells
3 modern game tokens
20 hotwheels cars
35 rings
13 foreign coins
26 bullets
5 pressed cents
1 marble
3 knives
5 sunglasses

1231 cents (212 Cu/1015 Zn)
2,216 coins dug, 188 total hunts, 152 hours
Since starting in April 2013, that makes:
