Hello eveyone, I just found some time to show my Metal Detecting goodies from this past Monday which was Memorial Day 2022. It was a 5 hour hunt at Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park. 3 Silver US Coins Chinese? Can anyone Identify it? Wheat Cents 1830 Religious Pendant Misc Metals Everything
Always amazed at how many toy cars you find. That 1917 Mercury is very cool, and in good shape for being buried.
Nice haul again, well done. It is possible the Chinese coin (if not a copy) is something like this China Qing Dynasty Guangxu 1 Cash Coin
I think that 1917 dime is better than the one in my collection which I would have found way back in the 50's. Nice finds Ed.
I pulled it out and photographed my 1917. I suppose it is a little better than the one you found, but not by much.

I don't think I've mentioned this yet so I will now - I'm amazed by your finds in NYC. My intuition says those really old coins should have been found long ago in such a populous place. Then again, I realize there were a lot of coins dropped in NYC over the decades, and how many folks are really seeking them out (like you)? Anyway, I enjoy your posts, and finds. You're gonna make me buy a detector. I retire in a year or two, so...
