Well it is February and 63 degrees in Kansas. Can you believe this? I went to an old abandon house today. In less than an hour I found my first pocket spill of 2012. Wow what a nice coin spill. I then stopped hunting so a friend that is just starting detecting can hunt the place also. I don?t think it has ever been hunted. I want him to experience it. My pictures are terrible. I have macro but I can?t get it to work.
Well here is what happened. I got a weird signal that changed over each pass including the tone. Yet the tone was so close to being good so I dug. The first coin was a standing liberty quarter 8 inches down. No date but three stars under eagle. I believe that is a 1917 date. Needless to say I was happy and covered my hole. I then checked the area again. This time I got a better nickel signal this time. I dug the hole back out. Yea I know I should of checked first before covering. In the dirt is a no date Buffalo. I then checked the spot again another signal and I found a Mercury dime 1945. Didn?t find anything with the pinpointer, so I covered up the hole. Why I swung the detector again I don?t know but I got a weak signal deep. So I dug the stupid hole out again! About an inch deeper out comes a penny. OH not just a penny an Indian 1897.
Hope you enjoy.

How many times have I told you to recheck those holes? :argue: LOL!! Glad you had some nice weather to venture out in. Great pocket spill coins, even if you had to do extra work for em. :headbang:

I learned the same lesson the other day.... My wife found a silver rosie and our favorite hunting spot... 2 days later she went over the same hole and got a hit... Got a mercury... another silver rosie, a war nickle, and a 1940 nickle all in the same hole she dug 2 days prior. Lesson learned.
Great finds, keep up the good work.

Thanks every one for the responses. I went back today and got another merc in the area. Today I checked each hole before I filled it in. ;D
