My bottle dump keeps on giving! Eyeballed a 1916-D Barber quarter and a 1935 Merc. Both were very grungy, but they cleaned up okay. Also found ten wheaties, a new record for me. Dates are 1918, 1919(2), 1939, 1940(4) and 1941(2).
I found the wheaties with my metal detector, but not in the conventional manner. Since there are literally thousands of bottle caps there, detecting this dump is tough. I can't seem to discriminate out the bottle caps. So I tried scooping up the dirt into a small plastic bin and then running it over my upside down coil resting on the ground. Works great! It ignores the bottle caps now. Weird!
The total for this dump is now 25 coins, all dated between 1910 and 1942. I've found 18 wheaties, 4 Mercs, 2 Barber quarters and a SLQ.
Here's a few pics:
