WELL, WELL.... WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY THE LORD GAVE US HERE IN THE NORTH EAST.... HERE ARE SOME DIGS FROM DECEMBER AND THE NEW YEAR WHICH BROUGHT ABOUT THE 1819 LARGE CENT, 1868 INDIAN CENT, AND THE SPOON WITH ITS SILVER SMITHS MARK... A.DUNN, MADE OF STERLING 925.... REALLY NICE. THE LARGE SPOON IS ALSO SILVER FROM ANOTHER SPOT...

HERE'S THE SPOON WITH THE SILVER SMITH'S MAKERS MARK... I ALWAYS WANTED TO FIND SUCH A FIND... THIS SPOON WAS NOT FAR FROM ALL MY FINDS LISTED BELOW, AND PROOF THAT IT'S AN OLD SITE. SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH, WE HAVE ONLY DUG ABOUT FIVE MEMORIALS AT THE TWO SITE WE HAVE BEEN CONCENTRATING ON...

MY HUNTING BUDDY AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AROUND DIFFERENT AREAS OF A PARK NEAR SILVERADO, WHERE I HAD DUG OVER 400 SILVER COINS, AND WE BEGAN TO COMPARE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DIGGING IN THE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN USED AS DUMPING GROUNDS BY BOTH THE BRONX, AND CITY ISLAND FOR MANY YEARS. WHAT WE FOUND WAS SURPRISING, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE FROM THE ISLAND WERE DUMPING THE OLD WOODEN HOUSES THAT MADE WAY FOR THE MORE MODERN BRICK HOUSING AT THE 1800'S AND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY. THOSE HOMES THAT WERE DEMOLISHED HAD OLD COINS IN ITS CIELING AND POURCHES, AND WERE DID THEY WIND UP, YEP... IN THE DUMPING GROUNDS, ALONG WITH A LOT OF IRON, DOOR KNOBS, LOCKS, BOTTLES, SILVERWARE, STONEWARE, TOKENS, TOYS, CLAY MARBLES, POCKET WATCHES, GLASSES, AND MANY OTHER ASSORTED METAL ITEMS. NOW THE PROBLEM IS THIS, THE DUMPING HAS ALSO COVERED A LOT OF THE OLDER TREASURES FROM THE 17TH AND 1800's. I WAS LUCKY TO LAND MY TRUSTY MINDLAB'S EXPLORER COIL ON TOP OF THIS 1819 LARGE CENT IN NICE CONDITION AT ABOUT 8". NOT FAR AWAY, THE 1868 INDIAN SURFACED AT ABOUT 4 OR 5"S, AND I KNOW THERE WERE AT LEAST TWO MANSIONS THAT WERE IN THE AREA IN BOTH THE 17TH & 1800'S, AND THE CELLAR HOLES ARE STILL TO BE FOUND WHICH WERE FILLED IN WITH THE DEMOLISHED HOUSES DEBRIE THAT WAS BROUGHT IN. MY BUDDY AND I CAN SEE THAT THE AREA HAS PRODUCED MANY BARBER COINS, INDIANS, AND WITH THE LARGE CENT SURFACING, BRINGS HOPE OF GOLD COINS BEING AT THOSE SITES...

HERE'S A CLOSER LOOK AT THE STERLING 925 STAMP ON THE SPOON. I'M DOING SOME RESEARCH NOW TO SEE THE TIME LINE OF THE SILVER SMITH... A.DUNN/ THANKS FOR LOOKING, GOD BLESS AND HH.
