    Hello everyone,

    What a beautiful day it was for Metal Detecting!
    Today I did a 5-hour dirt fishing trip at Prospect Park Brooklyn. I've been concentrating on a new area which produced 2 silver Dimes on my last trip.

    Today was great with 4 US Silver coins and some unexpected items :wideyed:

    First, I found this Candle stick snuffer.
    Looks like brass - Pictured with 2 silvers

    Then these two candle stick holders.
    It has a CHINA stamp on it. Brass also.

    These were my silver finds.
    1 Mercury Dime and 3 Silver Washingtons :cool:

    Candle stick holders and a snuffer. Amazing what you can find in a NYC park these days. :)

    Yes. All candlestick items were totally unexpected. I'm going to store them in a special place.

    Earthworm Edwin sounds cool :hilarious:

    I would bet that candlestick snuffer is a period piece. Odd to find it at the same time you found two modern candleholders!

    I think he found the store that burned down many years ago. No telling what else he might find in that same location. :smuggrin:
