    1850's church silver

    finally remembered to take my camara with me today and I took a pic of the 1850's church that I've been hunting,haven't found to much there but what I have found it's all been old
    today was no exception,I found three coins all in the same hole,did the happy dance three
    times, seeing how all of them were silver seated coins,got a reading on my M6 of 83-85 thought to myself quarter and it showed 7 deep,dug a plug and checked the hole with my DX-1 it was still in the hole so I was digging real careful and out came a quarter and could see it was seated but didn't know the date yet,checked the hole again and got another beep,that time it was a half dime,seated again checked again and still another beep,it was a dime this time,another seated, WOW,three of them buggers in same hole, checked again but that was all that was in the hole.came home and washed the dirt off,at times like this you start talking to yourself,any way the three coins were,, 1861 quarter,1876-cc dime and 1850 half dime,,thanks for looking and ,HH out there..

    If I ever found a coin spill like that I would be doing the happy dance for about a week! SPECTACULAR! |)

    Seriously, Terry, those are mind blowing finds! I've never found a seated coin and you found three of them in one hole!

    I think you told me on the phone that you have exclusive rights to hunt that church. Sounds like a sweet setup to me! Congrats on the terrific finds!

    WOW!

    WOW what a coin spill. 3 seated in one hole, absolutley fantastic. I would still be dancing. Noticed that you are being bombarded with requests to have hunting partners. I can't make it but over to the left of the front door I am sure that there is another seated. Could you dig it for me and send it my way?
    Huge congrats on a great dig.

    Don't know how I missed this but kinda wish I hadn't seen it.

    What adjective can I use to describe this kind of find. I think it's all been said by the other folk.

    Simply great!
    I don't know that my heart would hold out if I found three seated coins
