100 YEAR OLD COIN SPILL .....AND THERE'S MORE IN THE HOLE!!!

OK folks, this is a new one for me.......In my town there is a small/medium grassy knoll area near the town cemetery. I found a nice 1906 Barber dime there 2 nights ago and went back there again last night. I started detecting at 7pm and around 7:15pm I found an 1890 Indian.I swung my loop (XLT)just to the left of that hole and there was a large (2x2) area that was sounding off, a little broken up and I almost walked away from it but it pinpointed at 3.5 inches so I dug and out came an 1880 Indian and the rest is history.......FOR THE NEXT 30 MINUTES I PROCEEDED TO PULL OUT 13 INDIANS AND 4 DIMES!!!!....It was now about 7:50pm and very dark so I had to leave......On one of my last handfuls of dirt I pulled out a pretty large (2 inches) piece of green glass and it got me thinking all night that maybe I have found coins that someone buried in a jar and the jar broke......the hole is still sounding off loud and clear and it is raining hard here (Mass) so I'm not sure when I can go back...I am hoping this afternoon.....I will keep you posted....I hope you enjoy the pics!

HH all!

I think you're right--that most probably was a glass jar cache. Whoopeeee! 13 Indians and 4 pre-1916 dimes!

Looks like you've got 1 Seated, 2 Barber, and 1 Canadian in the dimes.
What years and mintmarks are they?

Are you having fun yet?

Re: 100 YEAR OLD COIN SPILL .....AND THERE'S MORE IN THE HOLE!!!

Looks like you found a stash...maybe forgotten over a period of time. The glass jar broke spilling the contents...Go back there's more, HH

Can you get a closeup of the 1871 Indian? That's a real keeper, and may be in good shape, protected by the glass. What a fabulous discovery; hope there's more!
