    Hello everyone,
    Today I did a 6 hour beach metal detecting hunt at Brooklyn's Brighton Beach also known as Coney Island. First I want to share a few pictures I took of the amusement park. You may know or not know these famous landmarks..

    So, I didn't find any gold or silver jewelry. I'm a little bummed out about it :(
    And I met 4 locals who have been detecting the area for years and they stated they have noticed that the good finds have been less recently.

    I found $5.32 in modern clad, Nickels and cents

    Too bad you had a disappointing day. Not every day can be a good. At least you learned not to go back there for a while.
