HAPPY NEW YEAR - FINAL TALLY FOR 2014

Happy new year everyone.  The final numbers for the year 2014.  Down was the silver and wheat count but did have some good scores.   I had my best year for buffalo nickels finding 9 and 7 Indian head pennies along with 3 walking halves.  I did find my first and second 1909 Lincoln pennies,  my oldest coin - an 1808 large cent and an 1800's british penny.  It's getting harder and harder to find spots to hunt - I think "on the road again" is going to become a theme song in 2015 - new to travel.   I ended the year at least finding 2 wheat pennies.   The weather is still not too cold so maybe an weekend hunt to start the new year is possible.

THE WEEKEND - LAST HUNT OF 2014

With the surprisingly nice weather I got a chance to hunt over the weekend.  I tried the woods on Saturday - still too much snow but did find a wheat penny and on Sunday I tried an area where I found 3 large cents.  Nothing old but did manage a couple of wheat pennies and clad.  I think that was my last hunt of 2014 as the weather has turned colder.   Over all not a bad year - now I need to do some research and try and find new spots and "travel" comes to mind.   The spots here have been worked over pretty good so just need something "new".
