Got out for only about 60 hunts in 2018 so there's less stuff than after previous seasons. First outing wasn't until the 20th of March but some good multiple silver hunts and all the silver from the beach in the last couple months made up for lost time
Detectors used were a Explorer II, Explorer XS and a Excal Sword. The clad bycatch amounted to $78.04 and there were over 200 wheats dug last year. These finds are from the dirt and also from the beach. Here's some Indians, a Flying Eagle, couple V nickels, Buffalo nickels and two 5 cents in trade tokens on the bottom
I found 116 silver coins last year...
18 pieces of sterling and one gold ring...
Some random 2018 season highlights...first hunt, a vintage coin spill
...hometown dog tags
...local beach trolley token
...5 silver dirt hunt
...Large Cent from the schoolyard
...9 silver dirt hunt
...cool old key
...1854 Bank Of Upper Canada bank token
...ended a 35 month big silver drought in September
...had 2 more hunts with big silvers in 2018...
...
...a Seated Quarter
...old beach gold
...a 5 silver beach hunt
...10 silver beach hunt
...another 5 silver beach hunt
...and finally, a beach hunt with 9 silvers and 4 pieces of sterling...
Well, that's about all of the good stuff I recovered in 2018, and my only goals for 2019 are to hunt some and maybe find a few things
So thanks for looking and Happy Hunting in 2019!
