Outrageous coin spill... 1 silver dollar, 2 different silver quarters, and more!

[SpencerK]

So I detected my jobsite for about the Nth time and managed to find a kind of outrageous coin spill on a tiny patch of grass between the sidewalk and the curb. I got a signal by a tree I have detected before but didn't want to try and dig up before because I didn't have the right tools to get under the roots and pinpoint the signal.

I said to heck with it and dug. I had to go between a drainage pipe and roots of the tree to get to the signal. I found 5 coins all scattered about near 9" deep. The first coin I pulled was the 1936 Indian head nickel, then a 1914 wheat penny. Then about 3-5" deeper I pulled my first 1923 freedom dollar, my first standing liberty quarter, and a 1948 silver.

In two days I have found 9 silver coins caually detecting random tiny patches of dirt. This time was in the little holmby area of los angeles near UCLA (an area with a lot of pre 1930's homes).

So here is my shocking diverse coin spill.





And this is where I found my coin



What a precarious place to find buried trasure!

WTG !
we call that small patch between side walk and road with tree on it
a "tree belt"- hit those in front of old places like schools and churches and you'll get old goodies
in places with old houses - near old early stores around parks and you do good too
along old parade routes where people sat for yrs
