Well just want to say thanks for all the help I have found here. I started on 8/1/2012 and I am calling it done for 2012 (four months).. Here are the pictures, included post tumbling on most coins/tokens (one green, one red wheat and silvers did not get tumbled), comet dish powder, pieces of glass (learned here), water, over night... I got that dual drum HF from Santa!:santa:

Thanks again!

Congrats - you've had an excellent 2012. I also agree - the indian is a great and hope it's lead. Regardless, it's in great shape and a great addition to the collection of finds.

GL in 2013 & HH
 
Thanks again all!

I really love the mystery of it all, you know, the crazy old toys, medals, tokens, AND SILVER... I have tried, and will keep trying, a TON of gold signals, nothing but aluminum.. It is just so hard to dig 25 pull tab signals when all that other stuff in the pictures is just feet away? I still do dig a couple/few "gold" signals, only the steady ones, those are like digging a "scratch off" lotto ticket, most are loosers, but it just takes one to make a difference.. I don't do scratch offs BTW.. Still looking for the GOLD but not as hard as I could be lol.... I think I might like silver better?

Nice finds! How many 5 gal buckets of scrap do you have? I think I filled 2 this year. Our clad counts were close to the same this year, again congrats.
 
WOW! Great first 4 months! Very nice pictures. You will really like the dual tumbler. My AT Pro loves finding keys! Good luck in 2013! HH, Jan!

If I took all of the scrap, it might overfill one 5 gal? I keep it seperate, copper, brass, lead, aluminum, other/zink, and ferrous..

Thanks again to everyone for all the kind words! Glad you guys like the pictures, those do take some work and time, but it is fun to share!
