Dejavu its a "On-Top of the ground Coin-Spill" / "Penny Tri-fecta" !!!
In some of my latest reply post I had mentioned that you never know what will turn up next!! Dejavu time its that day! I was detecting around the front of a building around some divider post with welded pipe rails. Detector locates a penny signal used my propointer to find a 1975 Canadian penny on top of the ground, there was enough grass the coin was invisible. Sweep my search coil again and still more penny signal moved some grass and then found another penny on top of the soil and its a 1958 wheat penny and start getting a bit excited wondering whats going on? Sweep my coil again over the spot and now oh-no there is still more signal! Hmm its a bit lower a 38 conductive wise then on checking pinpoint its shallow also and moved the grass around and what ?? Its another coin on top of the ground and its a freaking IHP my first this year a 1905 and then it hits me! That OMG moment of realizing I just gotten my first ever "On-Top of the ground Coin-Spill" / "Penny Tri-fecta" !!! I was fueled up for the rest of the whole hunt !!
They say its the little things that matter !! Well for Detectorist its usually the cents LOL , being the most commonly found coin, some kid must have been carrying their collection around and done some tricks on the pole fence or they just had some coins they needed to spend maybe, who will ever know? Its too bad that these coins cannot talk !!
Here is an interesting piece of foil that was found. Maybe it is an old suntanning oil label or not so old. Anyone know?
Here are the rest of todays finds:
Note the interesting pull-tab with the $$$ wonder if that contest is expired and how much money was lost by tossing this tab out
Middle right got a small key looks a bit old with that Lion on it. And below that there is a super strong hair snap, wonder if they make them like that still? Over that are some wheats one is covered with paving so need to buy some brake cleaner to see date. Other two are 1941 and 1957. Getting sixteen quarters seems pretty good for out here, this area tends to be poor but today it was nice getting that many !!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great hunt tomorrow, because you never really know what will turn up next !!
