    Hello everyone,
    After a 3-week detecting hiatus, I finally got to get out for some dirt fishing!
    I was in Puerto Rico doing some repairs on our family home.

    December is finally here. It is getting colder so Metal Detecting trips will be less during this time :sour:

    Yesterday I did a 5-hour detecting trip once again at Brooklyn's Prospect Park and Mount Prospect Park. They are 2 separate parks right next to each other.

    I did get 2 more silver coins. I will soon do a thread on my numbers for this year on all the silver coins detected in NYC and the seeded hunt I participated in down in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

    Here are my finds

    1941 Winged Liberty Head Dime
    1961 Silver Roosevelt Dime
    Both Denver Mint Marks

    On my last hunt I found a Cent that was cut on one side. This time I got one that was cut into a triangle :wideyed:

    Extra points for the term "dirt fishing."

    Thanks! :rolleyes:

    I've used the term a few times in the past. It's when I remember that I say it :hilarious:

    Before I left for Puerto Rico it hadn't rained for about a month. The digs I did were true dirt and dust lifting!
    I love to detect after the rain. More controllable dirt plugs and much better signals!
