Silver Quarter spill, Indian, and a bunch of wheats and asorted items!

[Helix]

Met up with fellow T-Net member tinman68 today. First off we started at an old farm that dated back to the mid 1800's. Lots of trash and was very over grown with brush. I found a 1906 IH and with it was a 1914 wheat! not much else to speak of on my end. Tinman found a really neat case with a religious emblem and stones, looked to be very early 1900's or older. Then we decided to move to different site. We get there, walk out there and first hole I dig a 61 nickel. Ok odd I am thinking it rang up at 92 on the DFX must be something else. Nickels are more in the 40- 50 range. I keep looking, sure enough silver Q #1 . I go over again, another 92 silver #2. Over again 92 again. Now I have to give credit to tinman as I was digging #3 I completely lost the signal. I called him over to see if his detector would pick it up and sure enough he found it when I was unable to locate it. I must of put it on edge as I was digging it. Then about 4' away I found #4.. My second best silver spill of all times. Sad to say the rest of the hunt we found nothing but wheats and other junk. Some nice BSA relics though. Enco key chain fob tinman found and gave to me because I collect Gas and oil items. It was nice to have a fellow mder today that's for sure. Thanks Ray I would of lost that third one more then likely.

Yeah it was ironic I almost always carry my camera. As we were walking out to this site I mentioned to tinman how I left my camera in the car, and how some of my better finds were made when I forgot it. LOL! It was just luck. In a very minimally detected site I guess it happens? I am sure tinman68 will chime in. I did have my camera at the first site with the 06 IH.

Awesome finds Helix...wow..a four silver quarter spill !! I am SOOO jealous...I have said it before and I'll say it again...I will trade EVERY one of my 1965 WASHINGTON quarters (like...3 dozen)..for ONE stinkin' silver one! I know there were a gazillion '65s minted, and I think I have found at least half of them..Cool, cool finds ..thanks for sharing..oops..just slobbered on my keyboard..ddf

Yeah really. When I found my oldest silver I didn't have my camera. 1837 caped bust dime. Now around Chicago its rare to find caped bust coins. Equivalent to you east coast mder's finding 1700's or older stuff.. I have heard of people finding 1700's coins around here though. I take that back once I dug it and spotted the Eagle I drove home and grabed my camera. Bad pics I know.

Yeah I can imagine that's a tough find where you are. It is nice to hunt sites up here that have had activity and settlement since he 1600s. You just never know what may come out of the dirt

Are you going to drop the key chain ring in the mail box? You could attach a note to it telling them where you found it... Just saying it could be cool.

No its worth it having a partner. In the fall I might take him to one of my pre 1900 sites. Go after the older 1800's stuff!

Great hunting there, doubt will ever see a silver spill like that out here!!

In my area losing $1.00 in quarters would be devastating. Folks just didn't have a lot of money. Congratulations on such a wonderful group of silver coins.
