My 2007 Coin, Ring and Junk Totals
I thought I would post my best finds and totals now for 2007 (although there is still some detecting time left this year). It is raining so it is a good time to go over my spreadsheet and compile a list. Luckily I am blessed to live in a part of the USA that allows me to detect year round. The only thing that stops me is the occasional rain storm and heat wave. For some of you, this might be a drop in the bucket to your totals. For you newcomers, you might be in awe. For me, I am as very happy about the year I had. I hope next year is as bountiful.
Highlights for the year: Finding my first Barber dime and Buffalo nickel. Being able to MD together with both of my brothers; my wife and my grand-daughter. Finding 2 gold rings in one day while at a park with my mother, daughter and grand-daughter. All in all, it was a year of great memories.
