2018 has definitely been a year with a lot of advancement for me, though maybe not as much as I might have wanted, largely because private permissions weren't what they could have been. But I am still happy overall with the year in detecting. Got my first V nickles, a good number of Barbers, and went from no non-junk rings last year to 14 silver rings this year. I'm also up over 200 total grams of silver coins and jewelry for this year and last year, so not a bad pile.
Silver coins: 26 (25 pictured, one given to homeowner)
Sterling: 14 (13 pictured, one given to family friend)
Wheats: 127
My clad count is a little nebulous. My recordkeeping for my detecting in general wasn't great – I know exactly how much and how many I've dug at my university permission, but didn't really keep track elsewhere. The university total was $215.70 with 2,717 coins, but everything together has be $350 or more. I also got around $70 from scrap aluminum, copper, and brass found detecting. I netted enough through this to buy a $5 gold piece and $10 face value of silver quarters.
My proudest find from this year is also my oldest coin of all time: 1835 Capped Bust Half Dime. It's in rough shape, but I love everything about it.
My goals for 2019: find my first gold and my first large cent.
