Had a pretty miserable year by my past standards, but I didn't get out much at all. Managed 59 silver coins and a couple decent finds, but not
too much to cheer about. I made about 50 trips out this year.... an average of 2 hours each, mainly to the beat to death local parks. Finds are mighty
scarce out there anymore. Below is some pics of the finds, enjoy! Take care and HH, Mike.


The first one is the better silver coins - all dimes. 1852, 1857, 1875CC, 1876, 1877CC Seated 1892O, 1897, (2)1904, 1906, 1907D, 1908, 1912, 1913,
1914D, 1914S Barber 1916S, 1923 Hi Grade Mercs.

These are the Indians for the year... no decent dates except for an 1876 and several nice brown ones from up north. There is my best coin for the year
in the middle - a 1914D Wheatie XF details

These are the miscellaneous finds of the year: a couple old skeleton keys, some decent minies, 2 silver rings, tiny gold ring, silver heart charm from the navy,
silver religious medal, I.O.F pin, gold filled track and field charm from the 1944 St Louis Area Champs of Beaumont High School (still trying to find the person
with the initials of R. W., more research required), nice looking tavern token, 2 war nickels, c. 1912 Walter Johnson Baseball Game token, Washburn-Crosby
Flour Pin, a "NY" dog tag, a St Francis of Assisi dog collar medal, and "Mr. John" aluminum tag from ???

This last pic is the tiny antique gold ring with an opal in it - barely sits on the tip of my pinky - and a big silver ring with lots of sparkly NITRO!!!

You got some Nice Barbers and Indians this year along with some great looking Seated Dimes. Look at that 1907 Barber Dime! WOW!!! That's a real Beauty! And the 1875CC Dime is in Fantastic Shape also! The Indians turned out pretty well also. And who wouldn't be proud of finding a 14-D Wheatie in the shape you found one. Great Coin!!! Still looking for my 1st 14-D Wheatie! That Gold Ring sure is Tiny but she sure is a looker along with that Honker of a Silver Ring with the NITRO! Nice Finds Mike! And look at that Sutters Tavern Token! Now that is a Fantastic Find! Never seen anything like it before for a Pattern used as a Token. And who doesn't love the Old Bullets! You did well Mike and I hope 2008 increases your finds by 10 Fold! Good Luck and HH!
