TF, go to St. Patricks. It has some nice debris from "The Great Fire" under the sidewalk....

Better yet check around the river where that boat capsized a hundred years ago!

I found out that you can find old coins pretty much anywhere. I stopped at a local park after work and found these

Hey Bomber, That silver looked so puty and shiny at the bottom of the plug! Big surprise for me

 

[Goio]

Well, I went back to the same spot where I had found the 1/2 dollar and found some more wheats a whiskey token and a silver dime.

Well guys,

I made a quick stop at the park after work today, same spot, no silver just pennies, wheaties 1942 and 1930d and a 1900 Indian cent


Hi rcasi44, the silver where at about 10" deep and what is called iffy signals, the cross hair would jump left to right but the tone will stay the same and the depth meter at about ten inches.
