Metal Detecting - 3 US Silver & Silver Medallion

Hello everyone,
Today I did a 10 Hour Metal Detecting hunt at 2 different parks in the Bronx NYC.
I started a Claremont Park then headed to Crotona Park a few blocks away.
I detected 3 more US Silver Coins which brings my silver coin count to 53 in 2021..


Everything..


And I also found $20.00


These are 2 Medallions from 1923. One is Sterling Silver..

Nice day for you and excellent finds,tired to get you to 46 but couldn't find enough.

 

What'd you set the detector to, to find that bill?

 

I think you found my vintage red Ferrari Matchbox car. Finder's keeper's loser's weepers.

Awesome day out Congrats!

 

Eyeball setting.. Visual signal perception

 

That's a heck of a find. I've found two 10 dollar bills on two different occasions. That's my highest. But i definitely find more valuable stuff, daily. Lol.

*edit*
Hope that "more valuable stuff" didn't come off as rude. I didn't mean more valuable than your stuff @paddyman98 , i meant, a nice piece of silver i find, or a W mint mark, is more valuable, than those 10 dollar bills I've found. That's it!

 

Fantastic finds Paddy! Glad you got out to search bit 10 hours? I cut all 7 acres in less time today. All that rain we’ve been having. I think you’re well on your way to breaking 100 silver coins this year.

 

Oh.. And 19 Wheat Cents

I need to clean most of them up.

 

One last picture..
NYC Mounted Police at Crotona Park

They were searching for the $20.00 I found..
It was reported that someone lost it

 

Nice Haul !!

 

Wow ! How old are those Parks ? I'd say you just touched the suface . Love them Jewelry and Coin Finds !

 

Finding medals of that age is really cool. I think you found a sweet spot.

 

I went medal detecting in our yard yesterday and found a matchbox car. Turns out it was my dads. Someone must have been playing with it and lost it. The car was from 1981.

 

Great find.. That's the kind of story I like to hear!

 

Ed, you found a trove this weekend. Congrats!!! "Karnak" is still predicting "Gold in them thar hills."

I googled it and found: St. Peter's Junior High School.

However it is in : 100 Munden Dr, Mount Pearl, NL A1N 3A5, Canada

 

I googled the NYC Mayor Medallion and noticed it was once a separate item. Looks like someone combined both medallions together to create some sort of necklace that somehow broke and then they lost it. But if you look at the back of the sterling item it states New York.

Thanks for the info!

 

Do you have to get permission to hunt in those parks?
