Silver Dime Spill

[angellionel]

Today I had one of the best silver coin spills of the year! I dug up four mercury dimes from the same hole. I had been working a grid at a section of the park I detected this weekend when I hit upon the silver dime spill. By the time I came upon the spill I already had four silver coins in my pouch, three dimes and a quarter.

The first silver coin of the day, a 1929 mercury dime. I love how they look while still in the soil.



After digging my third silver coin of the day, a 1920-D mercury dime, I sent Epi-hunter a text to tell her about the find and to complain that working a grid was tedious. I think she rolled her eyes at me.



I continued detecting, and it wasn't long before I picked up another mercury dime, dated 1943. Then five minutes later I hit on a good signal, high pitched, though the Co number did not rise above 44. I suspect it was due to the nearby trash. Anyway, I didn't spend time examining the target and quickly decided to dig. I cut a plug and scooped out some soil, when at about six inches I saw the coin. It ended up being a 1941 mercury dime.



I knelt to place the soil and plug back in the hole, but not before checking with my probe to see if there were any other targets. And there was! I removed about another 1/2 inch of soil before seeing the edge of a silver coin, another mercury dime, dated 1926. I checked the hole again, and yet once more the sweet sound of silver filled my ears. I dug more soil, and there it was, one more mercury dime, this one dated 1939. I was, needless to say, quite excited about the finds. I checked the hole yet again with the probe and what was no doubt another silver coin was singing loud and clear. The last target was another mercury dime, dated 1944. Four mercury dimes from the same hole and at varying depths.

My total take for the day, eight silver coins.



HH!

So did your machine freak at recognizing more than one coin down there, or did it give the same signal it does at a single silver coin? Nice diggin's ~ I wanna find spills like that, too!

Nice!!! Did the Ferrous numbers dip into the 10's or did it stay at around 12? Great bunch of silver. That '29 is in nice shape. That's it...... I'm officially hunting silver next year or maybe not.

If there's a silver coin spill there to be found, you will find it! I did think you were joking with me after the third text and the third dime in five minutes... I was asking myself, how did he have time to dig?! Congrats on another great day!

after the third text and the third dime in five minutes... I was asking myself, how did he have time to dig?!

Not really. The tone appeared to be that of a single coin, not like that of spread spills where the signal seems to radiate out. I was moving a bit quickly on that grid though, making fast decision to dig. I was on a mission.

The Fe number was mostly hitting at about 11, but it did bounce between 10 and 12 at times. I should have examined the signal a bit more, but I was already on a roll.

Yeah, your responses were funny too.
