    Hello everyone,
    Today I decided to hit Mccaren Park in Brooklyn NYC. A storm was forecasted for today so I had to get out before it hit.
    I had a pretty good 4 hour Metal Detecting Hunt!

    1942 - Winged Liberty Head Dime

    Hehe.. many times a lot of the Cents are bunched together. I pulled out about 7 in one spot! 2 wheats in another and 2 quarters together twice!
    And I didn't even show the dozen corroded copper plated zinc cents.. I tend to toss them away now. Nasty.

    So, yeah, I had to go and look up Cartier 18K frames.

    Why would you want to have glasses made from a heavier metal instead of a lighter one? I guess the soreness at your ears and the bridge of your nose just helps remind you of your wealth.

    The water would have just softened the soil.
    Speaking of that I tilled my Gardens the other weekend. I still have a good month before I can dig anything more than a couple of inches. I have spotted a few new hunting grounds that I would like to try. But only date back to the 30's.
    The ground doesn't freeze up there in NY?

    Every year it freezes for about 2-3 weeks. But this year it has been warmer so I haven't had any problems digging. It's great!

    The total in clad and Cents was $6.85 :hungry:

    Not including the 13 Wheat cents and as I mentioned, about a dozen corroded copper plated zinc Cents I tossed in the garage at the park.
