    Hello everyone,
    It has been several weeks since I last metal detected so since I was off yesterday Friday, I went on a dirt fishing trip for about 4 hours in Manhattans Morning Side Park.

    I had the need to find at least 1 more silver coin for 2025, and I got me it! :hungry:

    1937 - Winged Liberty Head Dime
    1905 - Indian Head Cent

    The question now is, as we soon enter December will there be good weather or available time for me to detect a few more times?

    Absolutely. It was a hideous mistake to ever even consider copper-plated zinc as a coinage material.

    Nice finds, Eddie.

    The wheel is 100% a train wheel. There's one definitive clue. The 'flange' on the inside edge of the wheel aligns with the inside edge of the track rail.

    The other possible clue looks like a piece of linkage on the hub. I'm not 100% sure of that clue, but it does look like it.

    Nice little dirt fishing trip. Congrats on finding the silver coin like you wanted. I believe that wheel is from a train. It looks designed to be on a track.
    I really like those error coins you found. To find two of them is an incredible accomplishment. What a find! You can talk about that for a long time! :)
