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

Nice finds. Treat that Walker with care. It looks like a VF+. If its a (D)enver then it is extra special. But whatever the mint, that's a good coin.

Wow! That just goes to show that its always best, to just dig those iffy signals.

very nice job on the large pocket spill and the big silver!!!! I'm glad your posting on Tnet again!

What a thrill! You were really rewarded for digging that iffy signal. I think that we fellow detectorists need this reinforcement as we continue to dig the iffy signals. Who knows, the next one could be the big one. Last year I stumbled upon a 3-coin Barber coin spill, and it is my favorite find to date. One of those Barber quarters is on my avatar. Congratulations on your successful hunt, and thanks for posting.

Nice spill, you never know, good thing you didn't keep walking. So far all my coin spills were clad. Good job !

 

[time4me]

Truly exceptional! That walker is beautiful, and a nice old date as well. You must have been so thrilled to find that silver coin spill.
