1800'S POCKET SPILL!

Hooked up with gary (foundation hunter) for the day at a cellar hole.
Got a iffy but good signal but kinda chattery near the stone wall.
dug in and first coin that popped out was a 1854 half dime! MY 1st 1/2 DIME ever dug!
checked the hole..a nail.checked again..another nail..checked again a 1851 large cent! then a 1852 3 cent silver.scanned again another nail,and another nail.one more sweep..a 1864 2 cent piece! 4 square nails and 4 coins! you can see the rust on the back of the 1/2 dime at 12 o'clock position.
then on the trail out i bagged a 1917-D merc.
a real good day!
the 3 cent silver has a crack kinda bummed about that
gary found 2 flying eagle pennies and a nice shoe buckle frame.

AMAZING finds!

Question: Where I live I see those stone walls alot in wooded areas. Are they a good spot to hunt? or did your spot have history as well.

well if there are stone walls there has to be a standing home or a cellar hole foundation nearby.we were hunting a abandoned cellar hole site

Nice pocket spill..i got a 3 cent piece a couple weeks ago and mine was in 3 pieces...wonder why the break that way

i think they tend to get brittle from being in the ground.freezing,thawing and acidic soil. i guess the metal must go through a molecular change maybe i'm wrong

i broke one the other day when i dug it, it was already broken in half.. i picked it up thinking this cant be a 3c and thought "if i can break it, its only a piece of a punch-out".. snapped right in half when I barely put any pressure.. at home cleaned it off, big star
