I had a little time tonight to tally this (Sept 29th) and since my schedule is full tomorrow, I thought I would get this done and out of the way.

Highlights of the Month - 2 Barber Dimes, 1893-S and 1900, a very nice 1941-D Walking Liberty Half, a Buffalo Nickel with a date, 1927, and a sterling silver ring.

Also, for anybody out there running calculations balancing monthly and YTD numbers, my numbers will be a smidge off this month for YTD. I found a flaw in my spreadsheet adding up various categories where items met qualifications for multiple categories (i.e. an 1800's barber dime is a Dime and a silver coin and an 1800's coin). My silver ring count was off 1 (too few), my silver coins was off 1, (too many), and I think that my YTD coins was off several.

I THINK I have things fixed. If I don't, please don't loose any sleep over it. I am doing the best I can.

An interesting note - I've made note over many years of detecting of my ratio of silver coins to wheat pennies. This year, they are running 1:5, meaning 1 silver coin for every 5 wheaties founds. In my most successful silver years, this ratio was a wee bit better at 1:4. I use this as a motivator that if I'm finding wheaties, silver is surely around. It doesn't always prove that way on every single hunt, but it does seem to find balance as I look at things in the long run.
