Cool spil to start 2021

The last few weeks have been warm enough to allow me to do some detecting here in Michigan. The spill came last week when I visited an old fairgrounds and came across a nickel signal that also jumped high on the VDI scale. About 8 inches down I found a couple V nickels and then I found another in my dirt pile. Then rechecking the hole I got another hit and out came what I think is an old key fob that says "Ford Moror Co." and then rechecking the hole again a slick old barber dime showed up. It is an 1896 S and is a semi key date...too bad it is smooth and has a bit of environmental damage as it would have been worth a decent amount of money but its cool to find a semi key date no matter the condition.

So the spill had an 1896S dime, 1884, 1908 and 1911 V nickels and then the Ford Motor Co tag or key fob in it.

Thanks for looking! Jared
 
Can't beat that! Your heart must have been pounding with each coin. We're still hunting here in NE as well! Keep it up, Jared!
 
That was an awesome coin spill! Congrats on the semi-key 1896-S Barber Dime. It guides for $80 in G4 condition.

It's great that you are able to detect this time of year.

Terrific hunt! :clapping:
 
Nice spill and the barber is as good as the one in my set and I had to buy that one. Congrats on the spill. I probably have at least 2 months before I get out. WD
