2009 in Review

[z118]

Not really sure what I was doing, but I think I posted an album of my 2009 finds:

I mostly just posted the good stuff, let me know if you want to see the junk - junk rings, tokens, keys, trinkets, boy scout stuff, foreign coins, etc.

2009 was my best year so far, mostly because I became almost unhealthily obsessed with swinging. I'm lucky I live in an area where I am forced by winter to take a break from detecting - otherwise it might be too much for the Mrs.

You had an incredible year Z! Congrats on all the great looking jewelry and coin finds! BTW I hear ya about detecting all year round! I don't think my wife would be too thrilled either. ;)

Sure does. It's 10k. Nothing like shelling out the dough for a gold ring so you can wear the brand name of a shoe on your finger...

You have had an excellent year Z. That is a great variety of finds and an amazing amount of clad. Congrats!

Nice year! I'd be happy with 10% of that.

My wife calls it :ticked: - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) ?? I call it fun thumbsup01!!!

I hope I can get to the point where I'm not checking forums 2-3 times a day, cursing the frozen ground and snow :crying02:, checking out new equipment and auctions everyday, looking at my finds incessantly, looking at every park and old house as a MD'ing place, asking every friend and new acquaintance I see with an old house permission to hunt their yard, wondering how deep is too deep for an E-trac or V3, on and on and on... OK, maybe I have a problem?? Just listed my DFX and some coils on eBay so as hard as it was I feel I'm making a step in the right direction toward normalcy (who needs 4 detectors anyway :grin:).

Nice finds by the way, looks like you had an awesome time hunting this year - Congrats!!

This is one of a million reasons why I'm glad I never remarried. Great year Z. You did find some great stuff.. maybe we can hook-up next year.

Access DENIED!!! rofl I tried to view your albulm by the link provided, but I was denied :confused: :crying02: Glad you had a great year and I share your obsession thumbsup01 Time to hunker down and get ready for next year. Maybe I'll even clean the mud off of my machine for once lol

That is an incredible year of hunting! You did really well.

I bet by giving one of those gold rings to your wife, and she won't mind you going out next year. thumbsup01
