Kids cache or ash-tray full of coins dumped ?

[CoinandRelicMan]

Todays hunt was interesting due what was either a cache of coins some kid buried or a ash-tray full of coins dumped out. Hard to say what the cause is just use your imagination. It took me at least twenty minutes to get the coins all out of the dirt !

First picture, the coins right after exhuming them ! :



Second picture, cleaned and counted :



Todays finds totals:



The musket ball was from a field hunt found while trying to scout out a spot where there used to be a small pond. The heavy for its size metal under the little bling item was also found out there is a rather heavy and hard metal yet shiny like lead when scraped, possible some pot metal ? The blob of lead was found underneath the kids cache. Every item to the right of lead blob was in the kids cache ,except the 1969-s which was in another multi-coin dig. Will try taking a photo of the 1969 through a 10x loupe tomorrow, could not get the camera macro mode to get a crisp photo so no closeup picture on that tonight. The bling item was an eyeballed find while digging for a nickel signal, the metal on it reads in the foil range, seems like good metal, maybe silver.

Measurement photo for the musket-ball:

Ha Funny - I had the same thing happen, right next to a huge oak tree. Over one hundred pennies, though I didn't even get a wheaty!!!

Clad or not, that's always fun pulling that many coins

I dug a memorial spill last year with 100 of them, not a wheat in the bunch. Lol

You know even if it's all clad you gotta pull them all. I had a spot last year with a bunch of half zincs, all rotted. My knees were killing me so I walked away. I went back and finished it this year and ended up with the Sterling silver military pin I posted a few weeks ago. I don't walk away anymore, you never know who may hit it while your gone.

Hi romeo Might be, seems like more than would fit in a new cars ash tray. Interesting mix I think with the "Wheat" and the "Canadian" Cent included! Could be it be that the big lead melt was just a co-incidence then?

Hi T.R.F. Or a Canadian even ? Or 3 ounces of a lead melt?

Hi cjon, agreed it was fun, that was the tightest bunch of cents I've found so far, all packed into a space the size of a softball !

Always fun to have a bunch of coins come out CARM. One of these times they'll all be oldies

If you found that in year 2095 this would have been a banner!

Nice digs

Hi qaela4 , fortunate that mine weren't rotted hardly Cool on the military pin, good story

Hi Ahab8 , I will keep hoping , at least I got educated a bit on what a massive coin signal is like

Hi trdking Those zincs would have all been dust by then ! I saved them Thanks

Update adding picture of the 1969-s from a multi-coin hole. Check out the view under a 10x loupe !



This a good save ? Still think Its worth putting in a cardboard coin holder at least.
