A different kind of hunting

[Water Rat]

I took my metal detector along the bank of the Hudson River yesterday. I wanted to check out an old swimming hole from the early 1900's. It's also a place were I used to go striper fishing. Aside from the usual assorted junk , this is what I found.

9 wheaties , 3 mercury head dimes , 1 skeleton key , 2 buttons , 1 women's ring and a 1893 Barber dime. Metal detecting is a cool hobby.

Cool,  I have an uncle who has been up on Oak Island in the Atlantic, off Canada,  looking for the Holy Grail since the early 1970’s.  I think all those who were up there longer have now passed away.  

I always get a kick out of the British guy, with the metal detector on that show:  “ooh, top pocket find”.

That " Key" is the best find!

I love skeleton keys.....i found a few over the years but I like the Barber the best.

Yeah I went and bought one of those Magnet's off Amazon and tried the Hudson , lots of hooks from all the shore fishing ! I'd love to get in a boat and try Magnet fishing under a couple bridges your bound to find a few interesting items !

Stay away from the waters off Brooklyn or you may end up "sleeping with the fishes".

I have long wanted to get into metal detecting, even have some friends who do it...just too many other things going on and not enough time. The magnet fishing would be easier for me to do though....at least a bit when out fishing.

My friends sister bought a magnet for fishing and her very first toss returned a handgun lol! They turned it in
