Yeah there was, it's called the sun! <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> What a great day to hunt and if this is my last hurrah I can live with it. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> Today we didn't really do anything different but I guess what we usually do works pretty good. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
Here is the Junkola ... I mean relics. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

For coins I also had two coppers but they are taking a bath. One was a Geo II copper and the other an early French. Both should be so so after a long soak. But enough of that already, this was to be my biggest silver count in 4 years (don't expect too many <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">) so I'll let er rip.
First I'll get this one out of the way. I'm glad it was pretty ugly anyway. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> May have been the plow, not sure.

Did get a second dime and didn't use my Freddy Kruger digger this time. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">

Walking towards my tectin bud I seen this right on the surface beside a footprint. He had found one just a bit earlier so I was sure he had dropped it. Nope <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

Now back to the relics for a sec. A neat tooled Colonial era button.

3 Unmarked early French Marine buttons (early to mid. 1700s)

Now ALMOST last but not least, this, even though in rough condition was to be my find of the day. It was a very low signal very comparable to foil and when I first picked it up I thought it was a very badly bent button. I wiped a little dirt and seen lettering and thought I had found a military <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">... Nope! <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":("> but after inspecting a little closer it turned out to be a very thin, bent old French silver coin (about 1710-1713 I think) <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> Not the greatest but heck it was a cool way to end the year.

The site didn't seem to be giving up much more so I headed towards where my friend was hunting and decided to try a spot where I had found a few goodies in the Spring. By this time my hunting partner gave me the 15 minute warning before we were to head out. With about 5 minutes to go I heard a sweet sound that was not very deep. Everything at this place is old so it at worst was likely an old copper and at best who knows. No, not a gold coin but still a good close to the year. <img src="/metal/html/glasses.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":geek:"> Ok, I'm outta here!
Matty look at your own risk! <img src="/metal/html/razz.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":razz">
 
another reale/cobb that Matt missed! <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
how many did you end up with this year?
 
Nice assortment of goodies Chris. And yes you killed that dime <img src="/metal/html/shocked.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":shock"> I'll trade you that french and spanish for Mo's coins <img src="/metal/html/tongue.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":b">
 
Since Explorers were invented I have cleared up most of my thirty year old wish list. All it really consists of now are a couple of ancient gold coins and a Spanish cob just like your one!

Fred
 
You mean I found something that you haven't? <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
 
Those were coins? I was thinking poker chips. <img src="/metal/html/tongue.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":b">
 
If Matt wasn't so dang busy digging bottles he'd probably have one by now. <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=";)">
I think you still have me by one for the year Ocean. This is my 3rd. Spanish are here, but not a very common find so it's always a REALE <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> good day when they turn up. I'm sure you will agree.
