Amazing Trapper ! Next years silver might not be as productive if we start in on this new adventure we been talking about . Hopefully wrap up pics for next year will have a slightly different color ! Congratulations
Thank you soldier. I guess it was a Dime year for me. Dug over 220 of them. Been pretty lucky over the years and have dug quite a few Franklin's but the Peace Dollar was a first and only, never thought it ever would come. TrapperI was scrolling down and got to the dime photo and thought "Wow...that IS a lot of dimes!" Then I realized that photo was just the Rosie dimes...
Loving that Peace dollar and Ben Franklin.
Thank you Chelsea. Since retirement it has been a lot of fun. I have been truly blessed. probably be cutting back on the detecting in 2020 as I want to try a couple other venture in the coming months. TrapperYou've done well, Trapper! Actually, that's an understatement. Excellent coin totals... each a representation of the persistent effort you invested in your 2019 season. Your year was blessed... now, enjoy this one just as much!
Appreciate your reply Levi, thank you. Missing the picture of the face side of the Seated Quarter. Will try to add it with this reply. TrapperWhat an awesome year Trapper, those are all killer finds.That is a beautiful seated quarter too. Congrats on such a successful year and may this year be even better. Keep at it - Levi
Thank you Jeff as your comments are appreciated. I'm thinking right now 2020 will be a cutback as I want to try some other activities before I'm to old to dream. TrapperThat pile of treasure is amazing! Great year Jack, good luck in 2020, cant wait to see what you unearth this year!
Thank you Brad for all the kindness you bestowed upon me as I cherish your friendship. Most differently have plans to come up your way in 2020 as all our hunts are great times and I really look forward to them. TrapperWow . Congratulations on another incredible year Trap .
And eclipsing that 1,500 silver coin count.
A monumental achievement!
Now I must return to viewing your incredible spread of treasure.
This may take a wile
Hope a couple road trips bring you past my place this year buddy.
I also noticed you have had some January 2020 success and are on the board.
Another crazy year end wrap up for You .
,Dew.
Appreciate your kind words Dewayne, thank you. Looking forward to expanding some of my experiences in the coming year so I do not expect these numbers for the new year. TrapperWOW! Thats an amazing year's worth of finds Trapper! Huge congrats and best of luck this year!
..........Changing my eating habits, learning about nutrition Ive taken my total Cholesterol below 120. My blood pressure is a consistent 95 over 70 and I've dropped 45 pounds. Now I have never been a real big man so the loss of weight has sapped my strength a bunch but the stamina has come back and being bullheaded keeps the fires of inspiration high. So when the Cardiologist said that my life changes have reversed heart disease and I have increased my blood flow by about 15% and the blockages all disappeared. No surgeries, no stints and now no medications So I guess I'm going to have a few more adventures. Trapper............
Thank you Travis for your kind reply. Since retirement i have been truly blessed in this hobby. I can say I had never dreamed of having this much success. TrapperCongrats on another stellar year Trapper!!! I can’t imagine digging that many silvers in a year!!!
Appreciate all the kind words Anthony, thank you. Hunting with you has been a very pleasant experience and I'm sure it will happen a lot more in the future. The health issue is a life style change and will be the habit going forth. TrapperQuite the year you've had Trapper, and not without a little adversity to spice up things a little. It was a pleasure hunting with you this year and hopefully there will be many more team hunts to come. Highest congratulations for the banner silver year and for overcoming your health challenges!
Thank you Jim for your reply. Only regret with this season is not getting the opportunity to hunt with you. It is in the plan to get that corrected this next year. TrapperTrapper,
You are truly a silver magnet. Unbelievable! Congrats, for sure.
Jim
Appreciate you comments Andy, thank you. Got on some fantastic sites lat in the year that allowed me to pad the count a bit. Next year may be a little tougher as I have to find a few more locations that have not been pounded and I plan also to pursue some other things. TrapperTrapper, Big congrats on a super season for you !! As I say each year you have the knack to sniff out those deep silvers and must have some great locations too. That has to be fun digging all those silvers....Continued success to you in 2020....HH !!
Thank you Mike for tour reply. Truly looking forward to new year and getting up your way. Some new adventures coming for me in 2020. TrapperAmazing Trapper ! Next years silver might not be as productive if we start in on this new adventure we been talking about . Hopefully wrap up pics for next year will have a slightly different color ! Congratulations
Thank you Mike. Looking forward to the new year and hoping to get in some great hunts with you again. Had a pretty great second half of the year but would have been even better if the times had included you. TrapperGreat year with an awesome friend!! Can’t wait till this year!!
Thank you for the reply Gary. My wife has another descriptive word for dedicated. She says I'm obnoxiously insane. TrapperVery nice Trapper. A dedicated detectorist you are!
Truly appreciate your reply Kieth, thank you. I am in total agreement with your forum comments as these people seemed to be really special. As far as the Heart Attack goes it was a blessing in disguise. Really changed my life style and opened my eyes on what living a healthy life style is. TrapperCongrats on a stellar year! I had no idea about the heart attack! To pull that load after was very impressive! You are a great asset to the FMDF and your kindness comes through on every reply, and to me that’s what is great about the hobby and this forum - connecting people who never would have crossed paths otherwise. - Keith
Thank you Jonny. Hope your health continues to not be an issue. Life is so much better without that type of stress just around the corner. Hope you have a great 2020 also. TrapperLook forward to 2020 reports of multiple silver hunts! Outstanding year! Having a health scare myself this year puts life in perspective. My BLood pressure is finally in control, i feel like a million bucks . Im only 37. Heres to better health and great memories with friends! Happy Hunting.
Thank you Dave as your comments are appreciated. The year had a few ups and downs but overall I think it was pretty good. Hope to get on some older dirt next year as I'd like to dig a few more Indian's and other older coins. TrapperUnbelievable...Then I saw the pictures.
I am stunned, once again.
Another fantastic year Trapper!
Thank you Jeremy for your kind reply. This year was a bit of a surprise with the success that came late in the year. Hope that 2020 will be a great year for you and yours also. TrapperThank you for sharing your year of finds with us. Certainly glad you were able to recover from your health set-back and continue to treasure hunt. That's a super pile of great finds ! Have a blessed New Year and please continue to share your stories and finds with the forum.
Thanks Ed. Wisconsin does not have the density of population of the east coast but it does have its share of very fine detectionists. Hope the new year brings even better success for you and Sue. For me, I'm looking forward to a lot more adventures in 2020. TrapperFANTASTIC year of hunting for you. If I didn't know better I'd think that no one else detects in Wisconsin and it's all there just for you. Best of luck in 2020.
