    Hello everyone,
    This morning I did a 4 hour dirt fishing trip at Prospect Park in Brooklyn NYC.
    It started off as a cool morning below 70 degrees and then it started warming up. I get tired quickly when the temperature rises :yack:

    Here are my finds..

    2 Silver Dimes

    9 Wheat Cents
    The same amount I detected on my last trip.

    Thanks!

    No. I have looked closely at the dates for varieties.

    I also have detected four 1916 Dimes but no D Mint Mark :(

    Congratulations on your finds. It’s always nice to see your finds.

    Praying your mother is doing much better.

    I won't be able to detect until October because of a very busy weekend schedule for the rest of this month.

    Thank you. My mom is out of the rehabilitation center and back with my sister. It has become a bit harder to care for her :(
