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!

AWESOME!!! KEEP DIGGIN'. :thumbsup:

FROM ONE TAXACHUSIN TO ANOTHER, DON'T CLAIM THIS ONE ON YOUR TAXES. :-X

BY THE WAY I'LL HOLD THE LIGHT IF YOU NEED ANY HELP. ;D

HERE'S A TIP IF THE JAR WAS HIT BY A LAWNMOWER THE COINS MAY HAVE SPREAD OUT SOME DISTANCE. CHECK IN A SPIRAL PATTERN.

GOOD LUCK FINDING THE REST. HOPE TO SEE YOU OUT THERE, CAPTIANJACK FROM THE CROSS ROADS OF NEW ENGLAND.

Huge Congratz ... that's the kind of pocket spill we all dream about ... hope there's even more when you get back ~ Jimmy
 

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

YES THIS IS A BANNER FOR SURE!
IM SURE YOU WOULD HAVE CLEARED THAT HOLE IF YOU COULD HAVE!
THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF RAIN HERE IN OHIO SO I UNDERSTAND.
YOU ARE DEFINETLY GOING TO BE ON THE BANNER! YOU HAVE TO GET BACK TO THAT HOLE AND CLEAN UP
FIRST!

I BET YOU SLEPT WITH THOSE COINS NEXT TO YOUR PILLOW, I KNOW I WOULD HAVE.
I AM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR IN THE SPOT LIGHT, YOU KNOW!
KEEP US POSTED EVEN IF IT WAS JUST A CAN LEFT IN THE HOLE.
P.S. TAKE A SHOVEL!!!!!!! THERE COULD BE COINS 8 INCHES DOWN YOUR DETECTOR IS NOT PICKING UP!!
SHOVEL THAT HOLE UP.
THIS IS ONE TIME I THINK IT WILL BE OK TO MAKE A SMALL MESS!!
I AM BACKING YOU UP ANYWAY!!!!!!
