I went out with my sister...donna today for a couple of hours at a previous place I hunted when the ground was still frozen. Started off with a 1953 rosie and a couple of clad coins. This place had a lot of fill put in years ago since the clad was 6-7 inches down. I was working my way along the sidewalk and hit a iffy but repeatable signal. I started digging thinking it may be a water shut off valve or pipe. I dug 12 inches and finally came to my first coin spill. I called donna over and she watched as I pulled the first barber quarter, then another, then the v nickel. The barber half was out of the hole already in the last clump of dirt I took out, but they were stacked up on one another in the hole, the silvers kinda green from the nickel. We worked the place for a while longer and I ended up with a 1924 merc and 5 wheaties that ranged from 1917-1945, found some other finds along the way. I think after finding the coin spill I was shocked out for the day. Donna ended up with a couple keepers also and we called it a day, but going to return to it in the near future.
Thanks for looking.

No doubt about it, that's a REAL pocket spill! :wow:
That's one of the best pocket spills I've ever seen! Incredible! |:confused:)
That was a lot of money back in the day. That 1912 Barber Half doesn't have much wear, and it's the newest coin of the bunch. I would bet that spill happened not long after 1912.
Huge congrats, Don! That is an awesome find! :perfect10:

Awesome! Nice Barber spill, and there all in great condition :wow: :congrats:
Holy cow! That would be the find of a lifetime for me! I can't even imagine. A barber quarter is just about my most hoped for coin at this point, and you got two in one hole. Plus a half! :shocked03: Amazing! Congrats on a heck of a hunt!

Thank you all for the replies. It was a day I will remenber as my first coin spill, I think i was a little shocked, since i didn't even do the happy dance untill about 15 minutes after i found it. The area is really trashy and lotsa fill, we will hunt it again as soon as weather permits, but i have a feeling machinery will come in and soon bury anything that may still be detectable. Still looking for the elusive Indian head...... Maybe the next trip out. Thanks and HH thumbsup01.
