Has anyone ever posted pictures of their best ten finds over the years? I have seen so many good coins and jewelry items posted in here that would make a great top ten list. If there is any interest in posting your best ten items, I will start with my best ten and we can run a little contest to see who found the best item...No prizes, just for the fun of it.

this is my most valueable find ever, worth almost 4K total
Unfortunately, my best digging happened in my pre-camera, pre-Internet days.
Sadly, I still lack pictures of most of the stuff, though I have kept all of the coins and some of the relics.
It's a "to-do" project, for sure.
The "Mysterious Ming Medallion" was one of my more intriguing finds.
Not too many diggers get Oregon Trail halves, either, I'll bet.
And then there was this.
LordM, digging the facial hair and trucker hat.
Let's see...
Here's my best silver day (10). The reason you see 11 and a silver earring was an SLQ and the earring were found the next day.
Best ugly piece of jewelry
Best Capped Bust dime (also my only)
Best Large Cent
Best Old Gold
Best gold - 18k about 42 grams gross weight
Best Button (one of the only few pieces I sold)
Best Buckle - Sterling silver

That's a Fisher metal detector cap, I'll have you know.
I'm back to facial hair again, after eight years of clean-shaven-ness. I presently look more like this Y2K-era photo than my avatar (just a bit older, greyer, and fatter, haha).
Continental button? Wow. Ten silvers in a day? Wow. (My best day was five.)

Hey Demo, those buttons are awesome! I remember you posting them before, but what's the story behind them again? Must be pretty scarce
LordM, I sure hope you don't look like your avatar! It's a coin with a fierce lion on it, haha.
Found the Continental button years ago in NJ. I like buttons, but something of that value wasn't for me. Sold it on ebay a year or so ago for a decent amount but certainly nowhere near Demo's buttons.
