Havent been able to get out much in the last few weeks and do any hunting,so I am sitting here being bored.So I thought it would be cool to see all the great finds of 09 from us hunters here on Tnet.Lets see your best personal find of 09 and/or your one heartbreaker that you wish wouldnt have been a heartbreaker.And to spice things up, in three weeks we will take a vote on who had the best or i guess crappiest heartbreaker.whoever wins the vote will get something nice out of my collection.I will get the ball rolling with what I think was my best find of 09,it was difficult,i had 3 or 4 that I had to think on but this is my favorite.Lets Blow Up Tnet with some Killer Finds!!!!!!!!goodluck hunting  my heatbreaker   |

I have only been hunting artifacts for 1 1/2 months. I have been fortunate to make some great finds in a short amount of time. The off-center Snyders would be considered my best due to size and rarity of the find in SWPA. The one on the right side would be considered my heartbreaker. The material is translucent with a red lightning type line from the top left to bottom right side.
Like the idea Greg and can't wait to see what everyone posts.

My best find of 09 has to be my Effigy Pipe that I found in April since it is also the best find of my 44 years of collecting.  My heartbreaker for this year is this half of an etched Shell Gorget. This came from the same site as the Pipe and I have seen a few of these from this site in the book about the excavation did there years ago and I'm sure this piece would have had two holes drilled in it for suspension.  |

Nice Thread. My best piece of the year has to be this Fort Ancient knife. The heartbreaker would have to be the Cobbs with the tip gone. Nice pictures, & good luck everyone.

I didn't find a whole lot compared to most of you, but I had a great time looking and learning. My Etley to me is my best and this needle tip would of been the one out of all my brokes I would like to have seen. take care and good luck to all... JYD...

Greg - Rocks,
I haven't really been hunting allot this year to show any heart breakers that are worth while. Back in April I found a rock that I had dreamed about for years, since then I have concentrated on metal detecting, the geekier of the two hobbies for sure. I wear my hat low, but like hunting arrowheads, you get the bug!

If I had to pick a favorite find for this year it would be this find, I found a few that were probably better but it makes a good center peice.

I wouldn't want to be a judge in this contest! I'm sort of amazed that many of these didn't find there way to the banner. I cant really make a decision on what to post, but with a couple weeks to work with I consider it a challenge for perhaps a late entry...
was wonderin where you were at dude,post a pic!dont forget the heartbreaker,thats what will be getting voted on,and you will get a vote so in a way you will be a judge. |

Hey all, A good post Greg-rocks. Many fine items shown and some real tear jerkers also. Kinda Jekyll and Hyde.  My heart-breaker is relatively easy, though not a piece of cake. I'll go with this one...  And while I would like to fudge and go back to other years, I'll stick to the original request and only use what was found this year.  Kerrville knife found near Lost Creek. Shortly before I had joined this great sight. Rock on! BW |
