Foreign Coin Cache or Massive Spill
Went back to an area where I had found an early 1900s British Farthing and a silver Cuban quarter. Dug a faint signal and found another farthing at 8+ inches. I poked the pin pointer around in the hole and found there were more coins, deeper. Got another similar target right next to it and multiple coins there too. I ended up excavating a 3 foot by 5 foot area to about a foot or foot and a half of depth. Digging all signals. There were coins everywhere including 8 silvers. All foreign. It was 90+ degrees out in full sun. Nearly had a heat stroke but diggin all them coins sure was fun.
Found 50 coins in all. Here is a list. Silvers on top. The prices are rough and based on my Internet research. I have not had anything graded.
