Old coin spill
Had an interesting hunt at a very old Park that has been pounded pretty well. My original plan was to hunt a parking lot connected to the Park but the grass was really long, probably a good spot next spring when the grass is flat. I ended up in the Park and spent the rest of the day there. Almost immediately getting out of the car I dug what was not a great signal. It had a little depth so I gave it a shot. The first thing I found was a coin ball with a bigger silver rim. I rubbed the dirt off and saw the eagle on back, Barber quarter. Checked the hole and had more signals the first 2 being nails. Pulled out a wheat I was sure would be an Indian and another signal in the hole turned out to be a V nickel. I covered the plug and scanned again and had a nickel signal in the same area, that turned out to be a Buffalo. Best old coin spill I have seen in awhile. Later I found a small area where I found several Wheaties, 2 Buffalos and a Rosie. All in all I hunted almost 4 hours and found all my best finds in about 10 minutes of hunting. Wisconsin Digger
The V nickel really cleaned up nicely in salt and vinegar.

That is a great day detecting! I love it when the old spills have about 3 or 4 different kinds of coins in them. Happy digging, Dave.

Great spill! At really old places it can pay to dig the deep odd signals.

Excellent spill! So gratifying to find an old set of coins like that!

What an awesome coin spill! That had to be really fun to dig. Love that Barber Quarter! :loveit:

Congrats on the finds in the park. Seems like the iffy signals are the only ones left in the parks around us. Although the other day I got an IHP 2" deep in a Milw. park that likely has been pounded. That was an easy signal.

That doesn't happen very often. Nice variety of coins in one hole.:congrats:
