Well this wasn't found by me but found right beside me….Posting this as my detecting buddy is not on the forum and thought it was an amazing find in itself…honestly I thought he was pulling my leg, he kept saying there's more in the hole….this hunt is part of a 3 day hunt that we are doing and this being day one…I will post up my finds at the end of the 3rd day and I myself had a hunt I won't soon forget!!!!:headbang: He also managed this Victorian 25 cent coin….

I couldn't believe it as they popped out one after another. We should all have quite the post when all is said and done!

WOW ! 6 trade axes in one hole...like Abe said most will not find one...but I'd still rather have the Vicky quarter.

"maybe" considered common as a Can. Vicky quarter... @ only 600 K minted, is pretty rare as a "dirt find". I've got one vicky quarter in 8 years, and no less than a dozen spanish Silver.....what's that say ?

The rest of your three day hunt should be interesting.

I've only gotten one of those in 11 years of detecting…with about the same spanish as you

We were thinking the exact same thing!!! There was an old fire pit close to them and they were found starting at about 8 inches and down to about 13 inches...
