Detecting Saxapahaw's TOP TEN finds of 2015

WOW, what can I say about my 2015 detecting year?  Looking back on the year in review (as one is wont to do these days), I can't help but realize how blessed I have been in what I've gotten my coil over.  I couldn't have done it without my good friends and relic hunting partners, to whom I am much indebted.  Each one of these pieces tells a story about our nation's past and those who walked the land long before us, and each one holds a special memory for me in the recovery and preservation of these finds.  You'll notice that a few of these have not been discussed here on Detecting Saxapahaw, for one reason or another.  Rest assured, those articles are coming - I still have more great stories of detecting adventure from 2015 that have yet to be fully formed into prose.  Thanks again to all my readers, and stay tuned for more exciting finds in 2016!  Also, if you want to stay up to date on the lates from Detecting Saxapahaw (including a couple of big announcements coming up soon), like us on Facebook here! 

Now without further ado....
