After almost a month break I hit the woods today. Went to a previously hunted spot with a friend. I put one or two Indians in my pouch, not expecting much since I’ve been to this location with few other good diggers. But after an hour of pulling nails a good signal: first came out a seated 1851 dime

Then a little down the slope, another silver... a merc.
10 feet away another... a 1906 Barber dime.

Things got quiet again and on our way out we decided to do one more circle around the hot spot. Glad we did, I got a faint signal and out came a small white (silver) disc.
Quick rinse and a 1853 seated half dime saw light once again.

I poked around with my detector and another signal appeared, another seated half dime (worn). I then took my shovel and widened and deepened the hole, and more coins started to show, another seated dime, followed by two capped Bust dimes!!! Once I pulled them I widened the hole again to find 2 large cents stuck together

So totals for today are 8 silvers, dime quad-fecta (merc, barber, seated and capped bust), 2 largies, 4 indians and buffalo nickel.

Super happy!! What a great spill!
Thanks for looking + happy Hunting !

That's a lot of day-makers! I don't think I could handle finding that many good ones in one day... but I'd give it a try. Congrats!

Oh , that is amazing ! I'm leaning banner because who finds two Capped Bust Silvers, and multiple Seated Silvers , and two Large Cents , and a Barber ,and a Merc , and Indian Head Cents , and a Buffalo Nickel- in one hunt ?? Without knocking off a coin store ?! Yeah , I'm voting this up !!

I agree. It’s just so crazy- I’m voting banner as well.

Congrats on the insane hunt bartek!
