    Small pocket spill

    Well I have finally got time to post my finds from the hunt sunday. Tanacat, commotion, and I had a great day for hunting the old school. I found the 1876s dime and the 1876cc quarter in the same hole. This would have to be my oldest pocket spill to date.
    The owner of this property gave use permision to hunt this propert and informed us that the lot had been hunted by people every year for the 30 years that they bought it and that he had not seen any coins found in several years. This just showes that there can still be coins left behind even though the site has been hunted. Thanks for looking. Handyman

    That is some great finds, two Seated in the same hole !! Goes to show why you should keep going back to yards you are tired of and think have nothing left to give. You probably took your time and went slow right?? Big Congrats thumbsup01 .

    Yes, you are exactly correct. Slow and cover the ground. Listen for any good sound. It sure makes a differance in hunting deeper coins in trashy areas.

    Re: Small pocket spill

    Oh here's your thread! I kept checking for it... Great going Sorry about the date on the CC crying01 It was a really great day, fun hunt and you scored big time. Enough for me to decide to go for it and splurge on a V3. Talked to Alan about it earlier- he has one new one in stock. Says prob won't have used one for a loooonnnggg time since they're so new. So... will you be my mentor? What are you doing Sunday? I guess I could transfer over to a PM but I'm about to pass out from motherhood exhaustion... not from drinking lol Good nite

    Awesome pocket spill! Hard to believe that the area could have been hunted that much but I've seen it happen before. Congratulations on some outstanding detecting. Have you thought about sending your Vision in for the up-grade? I'm getting ready to send my Spectra in and hope they don't have it too long. lol
