This Toronto Park Never Let’s Me Down | #87- Metal Detecting Silver Loads In Toronto (Equinox 800)

[@kepvalley]

Great spot and what a way to start with a last year largie! 👍Nice haul of silver and sweet to pull a couple shiny quarters! Always great for silver rings those places. That first one looked silver all day long! Cool pin. Wonder if it’s a school pin but could definitely be military with the crown on it. Sweet old buckle! Likely a remnant of older activity going on there. ATB and happy hunting!

[@ClashwithCanada10]

Good hunt, Marc! Cool coin, jewelry and relic finds!

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

Thanks bud. Weather cooling down helps go a bit longer

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Starting off the day with a largie is always a good sign. You got a pocket full of silver and a sweet buckle too! I like that crest pin, I am curious what it is, too. Fun hunt, Marc

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

I’m also very curious. Still putting in the research but may ya love an idea as to what the pin might actually babe… let ya know once I know for sure.

Loved your homestead video. Did some geocacheing adventures in Durham. Unfortunately I know on homestead that is currently. Eing bulldozed for more homes.

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

Not this particular one. She’s still there. Fell flat three years ago but land is still untouched. This one you speak of. Have they built yet?

[@fencejumpers]

Hitting the schools love it. . We go str8 for the ovals Marc.

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

Yessir! If only I had the night cam to see the real hot spots 😂

[@gjyoung67]

A ring is a ring!

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

Agreed! Nice to know what ya got though right?

[@shanemccauley8354]

The heart buckle is a civil war era item. They are called confederate bedroll buckles. I found one at a confederate camp.

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

Awesome info thanks!

[@DoylesDigs]

Good saves man 🤘🏻

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

Thanks… It’s what we do 👊😎

[@ybatch4662]

The pin seems to related to the order of the garter and the royal engineers. It's likely British origin and probably pretty old.

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

I’ve been trying to find info on that pin. I knew it was special. Just can’t figure out how special. If you can gather any info to guide me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

[@charleneaquino5526]

Nice!

[@davidtraves5954]

Nice hunt bro

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

Thanks bud.

[@glentitanic8657]

Dont know about a year ago, but....... Metal detecting in Toronto Parks on any turf or grassy areas are a bylaw infringement, only beach or sand covered areas in parks are allowed metal detecting in Toronto parks

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

I go where the treasure leads me. Pick up my trash and take it with me. In and out without evidence. Smile to passer bys, or anyone watching. The occasional wave and hellos work good too.if they want to kick me out I leave. Not too difficult

[@iamalex4life]

What temperature outside do you start metal detecting? Can you dig into dirt thats just 1 degree?

[@SkidMarksTheSpotMetalDetecting]

Depends. After a long frosty winter the ground stays solid for some time. Best spots are area that were blanketed by snow early as the snow will insulate the ground and keep it somewhat thawed. Not always the case but seems to help the situation.
