A very slow year for detecting. No big sidewalk tearout projects, though the few projects I was able to search produced some great finds including a Seated dime, Barber dime and Barber half dollar.
No new field sites, though we did try revisiting the same sites as last year, trying our best to squeak some more out of the hard to work corn stubble.
Another trip to Bangor, Maine provided time for a short hunt in the rain that produced a few finds including a "fatty" Indian Head cent.
A visit to a local park that was otherwise unproductive led to finding my first coin ring, probably made from a silver quarter. One 1950s house yard search gave up two silver quarters and a couple of wheat cents.
Only 22 silver coins for the year.
