Some of this years better digs!.......

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

I have not been out diggin lately so I thought I would share some of this years better finds.

Here is my best coin of the year an 1874 IH in AU condition, other than the patina. Coin dealer says $150!!!! Also my oldest coin this year so far. Not valuable but I love finding them. 1838 LC.

Here are two rings from shoulder deep water that were in the same hole. A large Valadium mens 2006 class ring and a 14K white gold band. This was my last water hunt of the year, Oct 8th BRRR! And here is a pic of my best rings this year! 6 gold and 4 with diamonds (39 total) 2 titanium, and one valadium.

Great finds Mike. I think the detecting season is about over unless you know of a good sledding hill.

Most of the better CW stuff is found when I travel to VA. We do find a little here that was brought back from the war.

I have found a few CW things around town but all the other stuff came from the forts/camps in Az & N M, Steve in so az

I'm with Mike, if a shovel can get in the ground, its still season. I went on Wednesday (in the 30's) but still swung (only Wheaties). Just have to add a few layers. Hoping we get another little warm up in December like last year.
