2018 was a great year for me! I had a few personal bests and bucket listers and overall just a fun year detecting.
I bought an Equinox 800 which is known for finding the low tones so lets look at my nickels first. I found a personal best 25 war niks and a personal best 11 V niks. Also found 27 buffs which is 1 shy of a personal best. Oh and 1 Shield Nik which is a best as well. So yes the Equinox is a nickel slayer!
65804
I found 85 silver coins this year which is my lowest in 7 years BUT I think 85 is still pretty good...especially since I hunt public parks. 82 of the 85 silvers were found in those public spots.
65805
65803
Here are my favorite silvers from 2018...
65806
I found 3 bucket listers in 2018. My first Flying Eagle cent, my first Spanish silver and my first Shield Nik.
65799
Here is my prettiest coin .... EVER.....
65800
And here are a few of my better Indians, a few Canadian LC's, a few Fatties and 2 Civil War Era store tokens...
65802
Here is my crotal bell display. We do not have him wearing it any more though but it was cool to hear the bells ring again. "Habs" is almost 400 lbs now and growing fast!
65801
Finally here is my pile of 40 buttons that my kids and I dug together this summer that are all from the War of 1812. That was a special time for all of us. My mom found 2-3 more a few days later after we left. Looking forward to next summer already...might start digging all the iron in hopes of finding a cool relic (or 40)!

Again 2018 was awesome! I hope 2019 will be great too. Stay warm this winter!
Thanks for looking. Jared
