<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kman413, post: 1319440, member: 34480&quot;]In the Colonial days it was common to take old ships and fill them with junk. Then sink them. Many of the buildings in lower Manhattan are built like this. If you purchased one block of land down near the waters edge. You had to fill in one city block in this manner as well as landful. My friend Robert Apozzo who wrote the book&quot; Old Bottles of New York&quot; found many of the bottles in old outhouses dug up from the last of the old houses throughout the city. These to were use to dump garbage. And as eveyone should know &quot;One mans garbage is anyother man Gold&quot;</p><p>You should sunscribe to &quot;Western &amp; Eastern Treasure &quot; magazine. You will find many stories of people just digging in there gardens and finding coins.</p><p>Many yards give up some real old coins because the laungry was hung to dry on close lines strreched across from one building to another.Coins and other items would fall out of the pockets. And another future treasure was born.</p><p>As for the finds, I flip&nbsp; coin and if I win I go first then the owner goes. And so on until we are both happy.</p><p>If I is a person unknow to me, I use a consent form. All nice and legal. But believe me most people want to hunt with me. And I keep what I find and they keep what they find. The machines today are very easy to use. </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, thank you for your reply. I always enjoy talking about metal detecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another show you might like is &quot;Secrects of New York&quot;. It gives&nbsp; a lot of history on New York City</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p>Kman413[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
