    Good morning everyone,
    Sunday evening I did a 2 hour Metal Detecting hunt at St. Mary's Park in the Bronx.
    I found Silver #66 for 2021 :hungry:

    Soak the 1909 in distilled water for a week or two. Then a soft bristled brush to move the crud off. I do this while submerged. I'm sure you have techniques worked out, but thought I'd mention it.

    Fun finds!!

    Maybe you can use the spoon to distribute phosphorus & potassium on your orchids. Or better yet, a spoon to dish up lunch for Joey. Lol !

    Nice finds again Paddy! With all you’ve found I would have thought the mayor of NYC would have honored you by now. :)
    Keep up those silver finds.

    I also do metal detecting mate, but live in south Norway =) Just sold my Makro Racer 2 and got myself a Nox 800. I do collect coins from America, so hope one day to metal detect over there. Some great finds you got there. Cheers

    Keep it up and you'll reach that 100 before the end of the year! I'm rooting for you.
