<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1319430, member: 19065&quot;]Kman, you mentioned that you turn in &#039;almost all&#039; items that you find to the various institutions, homes, property trusts, what have you... how do you decide what to keep? Do you have to negotiate with the land owners or something to that effect or do you pick and choose what you want and leave the rest to them? Thanks for the details. It&#039;s a pretty neat list of sites you have been mentioning around the city. It seems like anywhere in NYC would be pretty hard to dig and just about anywhere you stick a spade in the earth you are bound to turn up something metallic from generations of life upon that area of land. It&#039;s really neat that you can detect around such a crowded place as NYC.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a Colonial(?) ship down near the WTC site that was sunk into the mud and under water, which was being excavated recently(2010). This ship eventually yielded it&#039;s &#039;lucky coin&#039; from within the boards of the wreck, placed there when the ship was built. That helped researchers identify more easily the vessel they may have been dealing with as it dated the building of the ship. You are right, one never knows what they will find left behind where people have been.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
