2020 Metal Detecting Finds Log

Last updated 04/18/20

2019 was the first year I decided to keep track of everything I found and the results blew me way. I had an amazing 2019 (See my 2019 finds log here). As a result, I decided to keep another log in 2020.

If you are looking for a log book to keep track of your finds here are some log books I recommend that you can find on Amazon.
