It looks like wintry weather, at least very cold and limiting temperatures, have arrived. Detecting is over for me for 2018. I'm not going to be travelling anywhere until after Christmas and I acquire a different vehicle, and I am trying to work in as many planned detecting jaunts as possible for 2019 as I am determined to up my Annual Coin Count ... and make a very determined effort to reach it!

But for now, weather and health issues were too limiting this month and my November was a real let-down for me. Here are my meager results:

My November Coin, Foreign Coin and Trade Token recoveries included:

Coins... 16 (Includes 2-Wheat-Back 1¢ .. 1942 & 1951)

Foreign Coins... 0

Trade Tokens... 1 (Uncle Sam 1953 Play Dime.)

Silver Coins... 0 (1948-S Roosevelt Dime and '24, '41-S and '45-D Mercury Dimes.)

Gold Coins... 0


November's C/FC/TT Tally is: 17

My Year-to-Date C/FC/TT Tally is '765' and Annual Goal was '5,000' so I fell short of my goal by: 4235

I hope our winter is brief and we get an early arrival of huntable spring weather next year. I'm going to be devoting what efforts I can muster this cabin fever season to trim off some weight, get better control of my diabetes, and try to condition myself to be able to get out more next season. I am also thinking of some changes in this Monthly Reporting towards an Annual Goal that will be less confusing for some to report, but also encourage reporting and photos of our non-coin finds for the year...
