All of my Silver and jewelry finds for the 2012 season

[Goes4ever]

Well this is all my sterling, and silver coins for the year. I did not beat last year or even come close to it, but I feel it was a good season.

I ended up with 7 seated coins, 6 dimes and one 1854 seated half dime, my first one in 5 yrs of detecting, so that is a real highlight for my 2012 season. Oldest seated was 1838 found in a farm field. I got some nice barbers, several SLQ's including a semi key 1920-D and a blazing 1929.

Got 4 halves for the year, 3 walkers and one barber, as for other dimes, I got almost twice the mercs as I got rosies which is a good thing. I got 12 sterling rings, 3 sterling thimbles, sterling pocket knife, The large indian ring is my favorite jewelry find this year. Hope I didn't go overboard on pictures, and hope you enjoy viewing them!!!!

Man that is an insane amount coins! Do you keep up with the hours you put into your hunts? Total hours for the year? Did you have one or two sites that produced a larger amount of silver than others? And what do you think your average silver count was per hunt? Thanks!

I'm very happy for you.
You must have some awesome sites to hunt.

majority of the yr I knock doors and hunt private yards, early spring and late fall I hunt farm fields. A lot of research, hours of overlaying maps, finding owners, acquiring permission etc.....a lot of work went into these finds.
