Best day so far and first real pocket spill for me.

[skribnod]

I went out with my sister...donna today for a couple of hours at a previous place I hunted when the ground was still frozen. Started off with a 1953 rosie and a couple of clad coins. This place had a lot of fill put in years ago since the clad was 6-7 inches down. I was working my way along the sidewalk and hit a iffy but repeatable signal. I started digging thinking it may be a water shut off valve or pipe. I dug 12 inches and finally came to my first coin spill. I called donna over and she watched as I pulled the first barber quarter, then another, then the v nickel. The barber half was out of the hole already in the last clump of dirt I took out, but they were stacked up on one another in the hole, the silvers kinda green from the nickel. We worked the place for a while longer and I ended up with a 1924 merc and 5 wheaties that ranged from 1917-1945, found some other finds along the way. I think after finding the coin spill I was shocked out for the day. Donna ended up with a couple keepers also and we called it a day, but going to return to it in the near future.

Thanks for looking.

No doubt about it, that's a REAL pocket spill!

That's one of the best pocket spills I've ever seen! Incredible! |)

That was a lot of money back in the day. That 1912 Barber Half doesn't have much wear, and it's the newest coin of the bunch. I would bet that spill happened not long after 1912.

Huge congrats, Don! That is an awesome find!

Awesome! Nice Barber spill, and there all in great condition

Holy cow! That would be the find of a lifetime for me! I can't even imagine. A barber quarter is just about my most hoped for coin at this point, and you got two in one hole. Plus a half! Amazing! Congrats on a heck of a hunt!

Thank you all for the replies. It was a day I will remenber as my first coin spill, I think i was a little shocked, since i didn't even do the happy dance untill about 15 minutes after i found it. The area is really trashy and lotsa fill, we will hunt it again as soon as weather permits, but i have a feeling machinery will come in and soon bury anything that may still be detectable. Still looking for the elusive Indian head...... Maybe the next trip out. Thanks and HH thumbsup01.
