I never thought I'd beat last years record for silver but some how I did...I probably hunted less than anytime since I started detecting but when I did get out I just slowed down and enjoyed the hunt. I didn't find any old silver but I did find my first 1800's era coin..a Indian Head I hope everyone will post some of their coins or some of their favorite finds as we close out another year. Maybe have a kind of year in review....how bout it folks?

Hey craig... I don't think these guys really detect... just SAY they do. HA
come on you wooses ....Lets see everyones stuff and how about a pic of your all time favorite find.


I didn't get to do any real detecting this year because of the job loss and moving and all....
But here is a pic of one of my displays of rare and unique finds... or junk as my wife would call it.
The very top has 1920s era old lead army men found on the beach, a few more modern knives etc.
The black area on the left is mostly rings, the upper shelf has misc civil war era stuff, 54 cal ringtails, 58 mini s, 44 colts, part of a cohorn mortar.
The rest of these shelfs are misc... lots of coins I found on the beach, many are pretty old and a lot are foreign.

My all time favorite find.. After many years of hunting the Oregon coast I found a small isolated cove where I would find old coins etc. I found several very old rings there and some old coins but the newest thing I ever found there was a 42 walking half. It must of been a place people had access to in the early 1900s. There was a landslide by this spot in the 50s which made this cove inaccessible except on rare extremely low tides.
I think this dragonfly may have been a hat pin and it is incredibly fragile. I dug it in the rocks in the ocean at that cove. It is silver (blackened by the ocean) and not valuable but still my favorite find to date just because it survived for so many years in a ocean that is totally brutal.
