This past Saturday I took the kids for most of the day to give my wife a break. We ran a few errands and had lunch at a park that I have done well at in the past. I decided to dig any deep targets that I came across. I found a 12-30 signal one way and a trashier signal the other way. Dug done and out of the plug falls an 1872 H Canadian 5 cent Fishy! I was super surprised to see that! Then I rechecked it and about 6 inches away was a nice 1894 V nik! My youngest son found a nice token but I don't have a pic so I will post it next time.

Then on Labor Day I went on a trip to the spot where I and a friend each found a Morgan among many other old silvers. I only found 1 old coin but its a winner...1860 Fatty Indian that is in great shape!

I hit a few other spots nearby and managed a couple of mercs and a couple more Indians. The relics are a broken spoon end, back of a pocket watch, tiny spoon pin, and a horse reins guide.

One of the nicest dug fatties I've ever seen! They are almost always very corroded, this one looks great! Wonderful! :thumbsup02:

The 1800s coin spill is awesome too. How cool there it was two different 5 cent pieces, from two different countries. Very unusual spill!

:congrats:

Very nice Jared! I found a similar silver English Sixpence (1882) last year so know how you felt when you saw old foreign silver pop out of the hole. The fatty IH is also a stellar find. Looks really good for being an 1860 copper coin.
