Metal Detecting - 6 US Silver Coins - 59,000 Likes :)

Hello everyone,
Welcome to my 59,000 Likes celebration thread


Thanks to @CoinCorgi for that early morning like!

I noticed that @Roman Collector needed one more for 83,000 likes so this morning I did it for him


Saturday 1/28/2023
It was another nice (winter) day so I did a 6 hour Metal Detecting hunt at St. Nicholas Park in Manhattan NYC. I did really good with 6 US Silver coins, 10 Indian Head Cents (a new record) and 28 Wheat Cents

Here are my finds

25C Barber - 1912
10C Barber - 1903 & 1912
10C Winged Liberty Head - 1920 & 1943
5C - 1945 P



10 Indian Head Cents
6 of them were stuck together in pairs of 2

My wife liked this item since she's from the Dominican Republic

 

Congratulations on 59k and that awesome haul metal detecting.

 

This 1916 Barber Dime is in great shape.
Didn't see much circulation

 

Nice finds and congratulations on the 59K.

 

I made it 59002 just because I'm a nice guy. That '16 dime is amazing.

 

Congratulations on the 59,000 likes and what a good day for cleaning up those NYC parks. Seems to be a lot of litter bugs up there. Lol. Again, great finds!

 

Bet it was hard to leave that spot. Congrats!!! Killer day for you. I check on your trips and must say. One of your better days

 

Not trying to be picky but what happened to Bing? He had almost 89,000 likes.

Hey, isn't that an O on the reverse of that 1903 dime?

 

Thanks!!

 

Bing is on the list. This morning I had only done a screen capture of the 2 members above me.

 

Yes. I just got home and checked with my loupe.
It is

 

Nice haul of silver. Especially the barber stuff

 

Awesome day out... Hope you didn't have to look over your shoulder much... Almost a full liberty on that '16 ... Easy to see from the Indians there's not much iron in the soil in St.Nicks. The '43 Merc looks AU . Think you scratched that poor WarNick. Were the silvers all high solid 26-30 numbers or were they bouncing in the low 20's? Average depth? Absolutely Fabulous...

 

Three Barbers in one day is pretty cool.

 

I found 3 Barber Dimes in the end of 2022.
Different park.

 

Silver were between 26 and 32. The Silver War nickel was low 20's.

4 to 6 inches. The Barber Quarter was the hardest to dig. It was underneath a thick root.

Thanks!

My buddy went the next day and pulled a 1888 Morgan Dollar from underneath a root also.
I missed it!

 

Wow!!!, Sorry you missed it, but nice that it was finally found after 100 years. It must've sounded like a can.... If your buddy has a Minelab, then the number had to be 40 or 80... My Dad got a Silver Dollar in Claremont Park on Father's Day 1983. Good people like you Ed will get something two-fold and I don't mean Indians in stacks of two... Great finds, hope to get you up this way for a day out..
