2011 - Year In Review

12/30/2011

Other things more important than detecting took over in 2011. The year started out more-or-less as usual, but then some tough decisions needed to be made. At first I thought I could manage to juggle everything and continue all of my many metal detecting related activities, but I was already over-extended. Eventually I had to hand over the reins and bow out of the Central Ohio Metal Detecting Association and despite my best efforts and intentions, stop editing and publishing Ohio Metal Detecting magazine. Everything detecting related was, out of necessity, put aside and in some cases rather abruptly and without apology or explanation.

In looking back at some of my posts on the Buckeye Treasure Hunter Forum, it helps me remember some of the finds made earlier that year. A gold plated 1883 "racketeer" nickel, a number of Indian Head cents and older nickels, the usual assortment of silver coins, some oddball foreign stuff, some toys and a few pieces of silver jewelry.

I do remember several hunts from the spring. There was a hunt with Dave at a local park where there was some dirt being moved around and I found an 1887 Seated dime. There was a hunt with Steve Greene of the Dayton Diggers where I picked up some silver coins and an unexpected 1820 large cent. I know I did some other detecting too as opportunities arose or I made time to get out and away, and remember finding a 1903 Indian Head cent at a hunt with the Central Ohio Metal Detecting Association at Franklin Park in Columbus.

    I'm Nick A. and I am a metal detector hobbyist in Central Ohio.  I have been metal detecting since 1990, and currently use the Minelab E-Trac detector.

    I am always happy to find silver coins (made before 1964) for my collection, as these are no longer in common circulation.
