    Hello everyone,
    I wanted to create this thread before 2025 ended but I have been dealing with taking care of family issues and just a bunch of stuff at work.
    I do post every day but simple threads on other items

    This one has a bit more information so it took some time to create it

    Here are my Metal Detecting US Constitutional Silver Coin finds total for 2025.

    NYC Parks
    Silver War Nickel - 5
    Seated Dime - 1
    Barber Dime - 1
    Mercury Dime - 16
    Roosevelt Dime Ag - 15
    Washington 25 Ag - 5
    Standing Liberty 25 - 2
    Walking Liberty Half - 1
    Total = 48

    And I guess I can add this a top moment in 2025..
    Another win of a Metal Detector during the Rock Hill event.
    It was the 3rd detector won in the past 3 years

    BTW - The guys in our Metal Detecting group don't count the seeded silver finds as part of our yearly totals to see who found the most. But I still beat out 4 other guys with my 48 detected finds in NYC :cool:

    I think it’s cool you found more Mercury dimes than Roosevelt dimes, in NYC and both seeded hunts!

    Honest question. When they seed the park or area being searched, do they meticulously note where they are placing the coins? I don't know how many times my kids found an egg during the Easter Egg hunt that was from a previous year.
