I started 
in the spring of 2008. Got a grand total of 9 silvers that first year. 33 in 2009. 95 in 2010.
My silver count was in the 30's when I got the AT Pro at the end of May. With the exception of about 2 1/2 weeks when the pinpoint button went out and I also got the upgrade, all hunting done from June on was with the AT Pro. Wound up with 159 silvers for 2011. I found 'em, but I couldn't have done it without Goose. Yep, I'm one of those dorks that names his detectors...all after kids in the family.
Anyway a big thank you to
Garrett for this excellent 
detector and the fine service, the AT is without a doubt my favorite and most productive detector so far. Also thanks for "Snoots," the amazing Pro-Pointer which revolutionized pinpointing when it came out back in 2008.
The pictures are from my last few weekend hunts.
The two mercs 1943-S and 1943 were from 12/31 and they were my last silvers of the year.
The two 1942 quarters were in the same hole on top of each other, slightly offset.
The gold ring was the first gold I've found in some time since I am what Mike Hillis would call an accidental gold finder. 10K, about five inches deep, and it bounced from the mid 50's to low 60's.
Found a couple cool old turn-of-the-century tokens, I'll post pictures after their olive oil bath.
The silver ring is a small sterling ring that I glued back together. It's the second silver ring that the one who must be obeyed
has cracked with overly aggressive cleaning. I should know better than to hand her thin silver, but I can't help it. She could care less about coins, tokens or relics, but gets really excited when I find a nice ring or piece of jewelry. Not sure why, I haven't given her any of them...maybe that's the problem!
Here's hoping that all my friends on the forum have a happy and healthy 2012 with loads of keepers!
