Jan 1, 2012 may be the last year of my detecting season. It was beautiful out this morning but we are supposed to get a mess of a winter storm over the next few days, so we'll see what happens. I took advantage of the sun and warmth while I could and headed to one of my absolute favorite spots. This was hunt number 56 at this spot. My plan was to dig it all in hopes of some gold. I haven't dug gold in months and months and it's starting to get to me! I wound up digging a lot of beaver tails, eraser heads, and foil plus a good amount of clad, with lots of nickels and nearly no quarters. I also got two nifty and annoying junk rings - the first is an Avon ring that had me going for a minute, and the second is the ring of power - the one ring to rule them all! One would think Sauron could have used something better than a plated base metal for the one ring, but what do I know.
Total for the hunt was 74 coins worth $4.78, which is not bad for the 56th hunt at any given spot. Otherwise not a noteworthy hunt, but I sure enjoyed every minute regardless. :)
Happy hunting!
