    Hello everyone,
    Today I did a 5 hour Metal Detecting hunt at Brooklyn's Prospect Park. I detected 3 more silver coins which brings my total to 63 dug in NYC for 2024 :woot:

    I dig the trolley, I have more fun sometime finding the trinkets, than coins.

    That’s a great looking dime! That’s quite a haul you got today. I especially like the metal trolley. Keep cleaning up those NYC parks. :)

    I know right! He's a real digger of sorts...
    I wonder how many nails, pull tabs and just metal junk before he found the good stuff? 5d4b3caf935075e3f7b835aa_thought-leadership-ohmconnect-t-o-u-rates-emoji.png

    LOT's and LOTS, you can't expect your machine just to find that coin.

    Yep, there are! I happen to have a 1911 Dog Tag from a town here in Connecticut. Now, where is that thing that I once thought was just old junk??

    I bet that trolley is either a game piece or an old Cracker Jack prize. Nice finds, I always like seeing the treasures you find.
