I had my best hunt of the year today. I went back to a wooded area where I found a 1902 Barber Quarter last year. I started swinging in a hot spot by complete accident. First I pulled a 1940 UK penny then I found a St Jude chime. A few feet away I find the 100+ year old coin spill. All the years I can read are 1907 or older. I later find a US Capitol token and a 1957 Wheatie. Towards the end of the hunt I found this small bottle in washed out roots of a tree along with another small bottle near by. A killer day for me, I usually dont find this much in one hunt.
Most of the coins are covered in black crust but I was able to carefully locate most dates after soaking. They don't picture well and cant see any details if I tried. I only rinsed the Barber silvers, the quarter is a lower mintage year P mint.
Coin Spill;
1897 Indian Head
1906 Indian Head
1891 V Nickel
1907 V Nickel (3)
2 Toasted V Nickels
1905 Barber Quarter
1907 Barber Dime
Found scattered;
1957 Wheatie (no solo pic, included in the V nickel, Indian Head pic)
Old US Capitol Token
1940 UK penny
2 small bottles, first pic is how I found the skinny one
St Jude Chime, I think the back says "St Jude Help Of The Hopeless Aid Me In My Distress"?
I have more area to cover but I quit at dusk. Thanks for looking, good luck out there!
