Impressive coin spill
My D2 was shouting iron grunts and 90, all ways. The XY screen showed a combination of ferrous ad non-ferrous. I dug what I thought was an ox shoe or some such. I immediately saw the large cent. I was bummed as I couldn't believe my program was telling me large iron when it was a LC. Scanned again with pinpointer and found a bit of the iron pocketbook. I was relieved that my detector was correct. Then I kept pinpointing, more iron, ANOTHER COIN! Then more, on each one I took a picture thinking there couldn't be any more...then there was! The icing on the cake is they're all in wonderful condition!!! I always thought what it would have been like to carry coins around in those years, how you'd have to carry LCs and small cents, I didn't realize how similar 1/2 dimes were to trimes!
Amazingly, the flying eagle came out the best at a site I saw 6 literal EAGLES playing with each other, landing on trees, flying around me, and the last picture is a HUGE fish head and backbone they must have dropped!
