    Hello everyone,
    CoinTalk was slow again for the past 2 days, so I waited until today to create this thread.
    It seems like the site is back to normal.

    On Saturday I once again did a 4-hour detecting hunt a Brooklyn's Prospect Park in a new spot which has provided silver and wheat finds.

    Some pictures of the area of woods I go into (The Ravine)

    This is a bit of what the Ravine looks like. It is a heavily wooded area with a lot of slopes.
    See the location on the map..

    Well done and I can’t believe all that you find. More silver so no complaints about that. Glad you got out and had some fun. :)

    Excellent on the research! Just part of the hunt. ;)
    Do you have access to older maps? That's where I would look.
    Nice finds also. Waiting to see a "Walker Half" from your hunts. :)
    Do you stay on the trail or go off the beaten path? Maybe someone veered off the path to take a pee. :D

    Once again, great finds. That Merc dime is handsome.
