First off a big THANKS to all you guys for posting pics & info....it inspires me! I've been offline for a few months and it's been COLD here in Montucky so I haven't done much of anything except feed the wood stove. Had a pretty good season (for me) and a couple notable finds. I dug a pretty nice 1897 Barber Half (only my second Barber half ever) and I also stumbled onto a 1937D "3 legged Buffalo" in good shape for a dug nickel. My silver coin count was the lowest since using the etrac but most likely due to my chasing nickels and traveling less to hunt (old & tired....lol). My Barber count was my best ever with 12 beating my previous best of 11 in a season. My totals are in my sig below. Had a good time, dug some nice coins and am happy with my new found love of digging nickels. My hatred of the zinc penny has cost me some IH's so I'll try and hone up my skills next year on the IH's.....????? I'll most likely spend less time next season with the detecting as I plan to hit the mountains with a friend on his claim and do some prospecting......

Nice totals and a beautiful assortment of old coins! Hoping to pull at least one Barber coin for tonight's hunt! 
That's a sharp 3-legged Buffalo as well!

Lots of nice old coins there! Keep it up this year!
You had a good year.
Don't see no mercs in that silver pile not that a Barber pile is shabby. lol
Yeah, myself i'd rather be chasing silver than nickels but you got a nice nickel pile there too.
Good luck with the gold prospecting. Getting old now but thats something i've always wanted to do before i'm 6' under.

Yes.....I managed a few mercs/rosies/washingtons ....totals are in my sig. Like you....always wanted to prospect but never really had anyone who was willing to take me out? Ran into a local here who has a claim close by and also fed his family for 8 years off his claim. Said he averages about 30 oz/yr. He was more than willing to take me out and "show me the ropes" next summer and seems real happy to pass on his skills? So I'll give it a shot even tho I'm not sure how this old tired guy will take to shoveling buckets of heavy dirt all day....lol? Looking forward to it tho..............
