good day treasure hunting in northport li ny

[Scottso]

A week ago I had my best find yet.I was metal detecting in a modern ball park that was an old sand mine in the 30'sand after it was that it was a shooting range. I was metal detecting in between 2 soccer fields i got a deep quarter signal so i dug down and to my delight out came a 1828 large cent.

[LI Tom]

Scottso,I know where you found it because of your description of the area and because I live here and my kids used to play soccer there years ago.You should not put the locations on a post,because everyone who lives nearby will be pounding that spot and that should be for you and those you invite to hunt with you.HH Tom

 

[Scottso]
