With all the snow and other obligations I don't see any more digging outside until it thaws next year. I do have one option - a dirt floor basement in my sister's house I have been planning to try. I will post what I find.
I figured it is time for posting findings for my first year of metal detecting. Hopefully others will post soon as well, I would love to see your pics. Always nice to see pictures.
Bought the Nox 800 from Big Boys back in late Feb (Thanks Bart). Didn't get to use it until late March but since then hardly a day passes without me wanting to go out. LOL.
My totals: 2547 coins $244.68 324 hours on the machine.
Notables: 12 rings, (4 silver, 1 10k gold) one returned class ring, 2 silver pendants, 35 silver coins, 251 wheaties, 8 IHP, 8 Buffs, 1 V nickel, 1825 LC, 4 $1 coins that are all newer, several tokens with my favorite being an 1864 Ohio token. I also found many lures and a complete fishing pole with a reel that cleaned up nicely. I would like to thank many of you for helping id some of my finds and for your advice with various questions. Here are the pics of my treasures. Hope you enjoy them.

Wow! Love it. Nice wrap up! You had a killer first year. Seated dimes, half dime, half reale, largie, jewelry. Dang. Killer! Keep up the good work!
 
Very nice! Enjoyed the display and photos. I've been detecting for a couple of years, but up until the end of last year I was still playing and practicing golf weekly and then finding time to fit in detecting. So, 2019 is my first full year detecting about once a week or more. I didn't hit a golf ball all year! You got on some great dirt. I have a few more silver, but I'd trade some of my pile of war nickels for a seated coin. Still in search of one. I also did a class ring return!

Hey sounds like were in the same boat.... I had planned on lots of golf .. I bought a 2 year card two seasons ago and used it a lot last year... this year I only was out a few rounds and I could have played for free all year. Detecting was higher in priority and more fun.
 
Very impressive year, and you say this was your first, wow, that collection of the silver is awesome in itself. Many bucketlisters there that other mdr's have been searching for years. Congrats on a great year and that Ford V8 token, that tops my most wanted list for tokens. Good luck Mark
 
Great wrap up and an incredibly impressive first year, Charlie! Well done!!

My year is almost done, too, but I’m still hoping to get a couple more hunts in before the freeze comes and maybe pad my totals a bit more. I’m down a few silvers compared to last year, and I started out strong with a lot trade tokens, but I haven’t seen one of those in a plug since June. But I’ve been awash in pennies! Way more Wheats and IHP than I had last year.

Again, great job - hit the maps, internet, and libraries during the cold months and round up some more great sites for next season!!
