Daddy's best finds for 2011

Hey diggers,

Here is all of my best coins for 2011. Thanks for looking. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

Here's a group of older nickels




Here's some Indian Head Pennies. They are not all here. I gave a few away to homeowners as my way of saying thanks.



Here's my large cents



I found 127 silver coins with my e-trac. That number is more than double my previous TWO years combined!



Here's a close up of the seated coins I found



Here's the gold and silver jewelry. The 14K gold bracelet was an eyeball find!



I also tried coin roll hunting this year. I got very lucky and had some big scores. Here is the 90% silver halves I found



I also found an AMAZING 235 40% silver halves!!!! :wow:



I also found exactly 20.5 pounds of clad coins. I don't know the exact amount but it is over $250 for sure. I counted just the quarters and they added up to $130 by themselves!

Thanks for looking and I wish all of you the best for this year. May your coil pass over silver and gold (and then you dig it up!). Dave.

You certainly had an amazing year, Dave! It is fascinating to see it all at once! You managed to dig up some hard to find coins like a shield nickel, two-cent piece, seated half dimes, Barber Half, etc. I guess my favorite is that 1838-O Seated Half Dime. That's an amazing coin! :loveit:

Great score on the Coin Roll Hunting too! thumbsup01

Congrats on the terrific year and I hope that 2012 is even better!

I like the group shot of all your silver. Kind of gets me thinking about doing one too, but they are all in 2x2's right now. crying01
Love the shot of the pile of 40's, you did quite well.

Congrats on a great year.

Yeah, I googled forget-me-not bracelets and found lots of identical ones for sale. Mine is engraved on each link with a family members name and then 1944 on the clasp. I won't be melting this one!
