That’s a solid list there! I’ve knocked a couple of those off, but plenty more remain!  
My list includes trading tokens and any early 1800’s coins.  
Oh, yes a nugget or two would be fine also lol

At this point, my wife and I are hoping to find any coin or historic relic of interest. We’ve only just started up, with our first bit of detecting around the ruins of an old settlement house on my brother’s place at Frankford.

Found a couple of old iron bridge spikes, an old boot heel with nails (hobnails?) still attached, and LOTS of rubbish targets.

We move house in a week and a half, and plan to get our prospecting permits after the address change is official. Looking forward to finding our first old coin once we can start searching in better spots.
