My Greatest Coin Spill Of All Times

[relic ray]

Two years ago, I found 104 nickels in a single hole. No key dates. No bank wrappers. Just nickels. 

But today I found at 4 inches or so 26 memorials (all copper of course). Deeper down, 23 Wheaties, 2 nickels, and 3 Rosie's, and a Merc. The hole became deeper then my pro pin pointer was long. At least 11 inches deep. And yesterday (Saturday)  nearby, I found this 1937 silver half in immaculate condition.

It’s crazy what can be buried under the ground...last year my Dad found 52 quarters (all clad) in one hole.  Some of the coins were stuck together with pieces of decayed bank wrapper on them.

Love seeing those Walkers get recovered (still waiting for my chance).  Beautiful coin and great haul on the spill.

When you hit on something like that I know that your heart had to start racing at your good fortune.

Good luck on your next hunt and please send a hole or two like that my way.

Oh yeah. My heart was in my throat. It took me about 20 minutes to recover all the coins. The deeper I went, the older the coins. I became more and more excited.

What a score! 👍

What detector are you using? Can't imagine what that sort of find would sound like.
