Hello everyone, Yesterday I did a quick 2 hour hunt at Corlears Hook Park in the Lower East Side Manhattan. I got a good signal on my detector in the silver number range. I think it was 32 or 33. When I moved the dirt plug and looked in I saw a marble. At first I though.. Silver marble? But then I realized that there was a silver war nickel deeper in the hole! I think this is the second time I find a marble together with a coin! This Nickel is silver coin #58 for 2021 5 Wheat Cents - 1940's & 1950's Everything.. Clad, Nickels, Cents & another key
Love silver. Nice find. Corlears Hook, NY. https://theirishmob.com/corlears-hook-the-lower-east-side/ Dangerous neighborhood in the 1800's.
I remember finding a key at a playground and I gave it to my dad so I could go back to play. I was around 4. Anyways, my dad bought a new truck and got it a few days after I got the key and the key worked for it!
We called those silver marbles "Steelies". LOL You would be ahead of the game if you found one of solid silver.
I think the lesson here for me is….. When I visit New York, I need to leave my metal detector at home!
