My '09 stuff...most of it!

[Pyledriver]

Turns out I need to work on keeping track of my finds! LOL.. I have a bunch more of the Coke bottles than are shown but don't know where I put them! Also more relic finds that I have somewhere around the mess I call my garage. Still, here are my better 'non-coin' finds from '09! To be fair, this represents a mix of Silver uMax, Ace250, Scorpion and Xterra finds. The bulk of the finds are Xterra but I didn't ID which belong to which detector.

And these...with the exception of the silver quarters-those were my lucky strike from the bank, not metal detecting finds!

I didn't keep the gold-I'm just not that sentimental! I cashed it in along with some other gold from around the house and went to Colorado for vacation. The bullet was found next to a huge old rotten tree stump near some ruins of an old building. Nobody seems to know what the building was. Rumors are that it was either an infirmary or a house of ill-repute.

Nice. I think we at times get a little sloppy with our finds. I have been looking for months for a silver lid I found with the Chicago skyline from the late 1800's. Oh well, new year coming up.

Congrats on some great finds!! You really have done very well, Beale.

Thanks! I've only really been serious about detecting for the last year. Before then I went every so often and never did well (bad locations). Once I decided I wanted an Xterra, I sold the other detectors to pay for it! I then decided that the Xterra was going to pay me the value of what I had invested in the other detectors-it did!! The Xterra's next job is to fund an Excal...

Dude you got more GOLD than I did, for sure. I got zip on the gold and only 1 tiny silver ring.

Nice finds. I like Turnmaster only found one silver ring.

The gold necklace I found at a tot-lot, I had to get my feet wet for the rings! It's kinda stressful wading with a LAND detector, but the gold is in the WATER! The new year will require me to find better places to hunt if I expect to dig up an Excal's worth of finds! One clue though..I'll be getting a lot of sand in my shoes!
