I think the year's done - 2013 Totals

It's been cold and snowy lately. Winter seemed to come earlier this year than usual. Detector's been cleaned and dismantled. Now, if it heats up into the 40s over the next few days and things are thawed for the weekend, it'll be worth reconsidering. But most likely this is it for the year.

ricko

Dockwalliper

Quality and quantity thats tough to measure up to.

WhiteTornado

Over 3,300 coins alone! Great totals for the year. Thanks for sharing many experiences and pictures along the way .

guitarwes

Very impressive. Those 2 old dimes are amazing.

I don't think I've been detecting 85 times my whole life. Proves to show that you gotta go if you wanna find alot of stuff.

ricko

Correct Wes..... like playing the lottery, if you do not participate, you cannot win..... Cheers, RickO

Thanks guys! Sad to see the season ending, but it's time to move onto other projects.

guitarwes, both of those dimes almost didn't happen! The capped bust dime was an iffy signal surrounded by iron. There was a small higher pitched signal that seemed different from iron falsing. Fortunately decided to dig it. The seated dime was in an area I was wandering around. Some kids were in the area when I got a good signal. I didn't want to dig it then and there in case they'd see it. Waited for them to leave but couldn't find the signal again! Gridding the area a dime signal appeared and it turned out to be the seated dime. Finally found that other signal which was a deep rusted pipe.

johnny, the lighting is pretty bad on the bracelet pic. It's actually vintage sterling silver. Someone indicated it could be 30s or 40s. Looks like my photography skills could use some work!

You are definitely the King of Metal Detecting on this forum!!!

Dockwalliper

Have you totaled your finds PPC? Or are you not ready to call it a year?

pocketpiececommems

I'm going to wait in the event there are a few nice days left in Dec.

Dockwalliper

It 57 here today and the foot of snow we got last week is gone. Gonna get out for a bit.

pcgs69

Nice doc! Keep us posted on your finds. Looking forward to hearing about them.

Thanks PPC, but by the looks of it I'm merely the one who detects the most on the forum. Just a numbers game at that point - some skill, luck, patience, knowing your detector, and time.

metalmeister

Very Impressive haul. Cheers

Dockwalliper

51 coins, $3.36 nothing good.

lordmarcovan

Congratulations on a great year, and thanks for the nice review!

Can't wait to see what 2014 brings you!

(And me, though I've got to get my detector fixed before I can get out again, since it died on the England trip.)

LowBudget

great seeing all that stuff back above ground!
