    Hello everyone,

    This upcoming Tuesday my wife and I are heading to our second trip of 2026 to Puerto Rico. Yesterday I decided to do a dirt fishing trip to Brooklyn' Prospect Park. Almost 7 hours in a heavily hunted park and all I was able to find in silver was the following..

    1917 P - Winged Liberty Head Dime

    9 Wheat Cents

    These 3 were a spill found deep in a root of a huge tree. 1938 & 1940..

    2 Dollar Coins

    When I dug up these 2 coins I first thought they were copper Half Cents.
    They turned out to be Irish coins from 1988

    Fun finds! Your persistence continues to pay off.

    I went out yesterday some, around an old-ish house I recently got permission for. Found a lot of junk, a crummy post-64 dime, and a quite nice 1974d penny. I hope to go back again soon though.
