Best coin spill yet, with a special silver surprise

[SultansOfSwing]

Tried a new spot yesterday and wandered away from the cellar hole. I found a stonewall corner and swung it because I know the farmers spent more time in the corners and I got a jump high tone. Bouncing from 18 to 26. I was thinking crotal bell but to my surprise coins started popping out. These were wedged between large pine tree roots and a rock. Over all it was 4 large cents, a small cent (indian) and my first Trime. 1852











Later I finished the day at the camp and got the Rosie, .925 earring, 3 nickels, small buckel, musket ball, 1960s Timex watch, and a wheat.

That is one heckuva 8 cent coin spill! Very interesting "transition" spill with the indian and the large cents, can you read a date on the indian?

No date. It was a fatty indian when it came out of the hole (1859-1864) but as it dried out it became wafer thin and theres no detail. Yesterday you could see the top of the headdress but theres pretty much nothing now. But given that it was a fatty, this spill is probably from between 1859 to mid 1860s.

Those fattys have the nickel in them and never hold up well. I was hoping for a flying eagle (my 3rd) but it wasnt the case this time. Im still over the moon with the find yesterday. I went out today for a few hours hiking and im beat, got a buckle and a broken ox knob. No worries. I'll be flyin on this spill til probably the snow falls.
