    Hello everyone,
    Yesterday I did a 4 hour metal detecting hunt at Highland Park Brooklyn.
    It was a lousy hunt :(

    The best find was a 1945 Wheat Cents which was in bad shape.

    The rest of the coins and a clip.

    Well at least you got one silver, the Washington 64. Silver holds up to the environment better than most.

    paddy, look at it this way:

    Cash value per hour = $ .805
    "Fun activity" value per hour = $ 30.00
    "Enjoying the outdoors" value per hr = $ 20.00

    And if you were accompanied,

    "Comraderies" value per hour = $ 50.00
    ____________
    Total intrinsic value per hour = $ 100.805

    Not a bad haul my friend, not a bad haul!!! :D:singing:
