HAPPY NEW YEAR - I hope this year is better than the last. I also hope to do a better job of updating the blog. Then bucket list this year always starts off with finding gold - jewelry is nice but a coin would be better. A caped bust silver is always on the list along with a seated quarter or half. I had a nice silver count last year and hope I can improve on that. I didn't get to travel like I wanted too but things look to be improving on that. As long as I can get out and detect - that is what it's all about.

ANOTHER LARGE CENT IN WOODS
I went back to the woods where I found a 1853 large cent hoping for some old silver. It wasn't old but it was silver - a war nickel and I did manage another large cent. This one was 1822. I still think there is some old silver in there and I will give it another shot this weekend.

BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND - COIN AND WEATHER WISE
The weather has been terrific lately - in the lower 70's for November and the detecting just as good. I went to an past spot and found a silver quarter, 2 buffalo nickels and wheat pennies and another wheat on Sunday. This coming weekend won't be in the 70's but still not too cold.

SILVER IN THE WOODS
Last week I was in the woods and I found some nice coin - a barber dime, a buffalo nickel and some wheat pennies were in a park. I wanted to get back in the woods this morning but it rained plus it's windy - don't need a branch coming down.
