I was hoping to get out this weekend for my first hunt of the year but a snow storm has ended that. Got about 5 to 6 inches of new snow so will have to wait for the January thaw ( if we get one). It supposed to be in the 30's on Sunday - I don't mind the cold - the snow is just too deep.

GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR 2014
2013 was my best year so far - finding 50 silver coins and over 260 wheat pennies. My goal is that I can top that but it will be a challenge. I did manage to cross off some coins from the wish list - finding my first seated dime, a Ben Franklin half, and getting my first dime trifecta. I also found my first gold ring.
So in 2014 I hope to get another seated but this time not a dime, still looking for a barber quarter, more 1800's coins (only 2 last year), and more jewelry. I was skunked with dollar coins so either old or clad would be nice. I plan on doing water detecting this year since I got the AT Pro and some more travel. I plan to hunt with T, K, J and D so between us we have some nice areas to detect. I will be doing research again and try to get permission to hunt private property.
I look forward to the new year - and will take advantage of my opportunities when ever I can get out or find a place to hunt. I wish everyone a safe and successful hunting season.

LAST HUNTS FOR THE YEAR
Well I did manage to get out this weekend - will be the last hunts for the year - hit the canal Saturday and a park with D on Sunday. Didn't find much - just clad but overall I had my best year metal detecting. I found 50 silver coins and over 260 wheat pennies. Plus I got some coins off the wish list - and have some areas to hunt in the spring that look very promising. I will have the final tally soon and my goals for the new year. It will hard to top this year with the silver but now that I have the AT pro, I will be getting in the water next year - hopefully finding some nice coins, jewelry etc. Looking forward to that and maybe getting out in January to start the new season.
