Default MD Goals / Resolutions

I really liked Donlor's post with his 2008 goals...so I thought I'd start a thread to see what some of goals are for the rest of us (if you'd care to share)...personally, mine are as follows:

1. Meet (in person) 10 TQ members (not including the 2008 TQ Hunt)
2. Get OUT of the Non-Silver Club (sorry Guido!)
3. Recover a Morgan Dollar

I'm sure I'll have more as the year goes on - but those are my major goals...how about y'all?

My #1 goal is going to be enjoying my life alittle more, been a rough past few years. I enjoy going if I find $1 worth of clad, lol....beats the heck out of being stuck at home.

I'm gonna call mine "hopes" instead of goals

I hope we get permission to hunt 50% of the sites Echostar61 & I are researching

I'd like to find a few silver coins

I'd like to find a coin from the 1800's

I'd like to find a silver or gold pocket watch intact (lol, I said I was hoping)

I'd like to find something from some family property that was donated to build a church in the 1870's (wh's pic is my avatar)

I'll be happy just to be able to get out, feel some warm sun on my face.........and anything over that is just a bonus.

Well my MD goals are really only a few. I really would like to find a nice ring. I want to find another silver coin, any will do. I would like to meet any of you fine folks on this site. My last MD goal is to start hunting in all metal. I am gonna start slow and work into that one.

Personal goals. Drop another 30 pounds this year. Get out more often, Beale.

- Be a better husband, father, and pastor.
- Meet a lot of you (especially in Oct.).
- Grow in the MD hobby (knowledge and experience).
- Find some really nice stuff metal detecting.
- Write 3 more books during 08.
- Drop 10 pounds.
- Do something nice for someone every day of 08.
- Not allow myself to be rattled by road rage, sarcasm, or people who are having a bad day themselves.
- Remember to be thankful for what I have and the people I am privileged to know.
- And above all, to glorify God.


HH,
HL
