    Hello everyone,
    This morning I did a 5 hour hunt at 2 parks located in upper Manhattan NYC.

    If you saw last week's finds I had detected my first two US silver coins for this year.
    Both were 1940's Silver War Nickels.
    Well it happened again today..

    Another 2 US Silver War Nickels!

    I also got a 1945 Silver Washington Quarter

    And last week I detected a Bucket List item.
    A Holed Flying Eagle Cent.
    Today I detected another Bucket List Item!

    The only problem is that it's toasted :(
    The only way to see the image is to wet it and look at it at an angle. I Did my best to take a picture..

    Nice finds and kudos for the bucket lister! I have several KG2's found but this was found almost 3 inches down! Sitting on a large flat rock. 1753! Sorry not trying to "hijack". Did you get a year off it, or can you see the number? 1753 KG copper rev-tile.jpg
