Iffy signal turns into a sweet coin spill!

[bazinga]

I went out detecting this afternoon at what has become my favorite park for the past 2 weeks. After about 3 hours I was mumbling some bad words, as all I had found were 5 wheats, and they were all found about 30min between each other.

But just before leaving, I thought I would try out one more little area that looked promising in hopes that it hadn't been pushed around / filled in over the years.

At about 5" deep I get a really jumpy signal that was bouncing between penny/dime and iron. I didn't have really high hopes for it as I had already dug a handful of these signals already only to find falsing bent square nails in the holes.

Then out popped big silver! As I'm looking at that, I see another piece of silver in my pile of dirt. Then after that excitement, I rechecked the hole to find a barber dime as well! An 85 cent pocket spill! Tough to beat that! About 20 feet away I pulled out the mercury dime as well.

Finds:
9 Wheats
1920 Walking Liberty Half Dollar - Appears to have a lot of detail
1908-O Barber Quarter
1904 Barber Dime
1941-D Mercury Dime
Gold plated locket or small pocket watch? front is rusted

That is a sweet spill! I can't imagine the iffy signal, though; it pays to dig them, though!
