I would say you had a very good year... Congrat's on all of your great finds.

I need to do my end of the year totals too.

Those are some excellent finds. Nice variety. I really like the old fireman's badge
and the old quarters. It is always nice to top it off with a shield nickel as they don't pop up too often.
I see you got some gold rings also. Very cool.

Man, I'd take a year like that anytime!!

Thank You for your kind words!

Funny story on Fireman's badge.

I found the badge itself in late December of 2015. After getting it dated from a badge expert I was told it was missing the center Trumpets.

I went back in January of 2016 and spent about 3.5 hrs looking for the center piece and got rewarded and completed the badge.
