This was only an hour and a half hunt. The record spill was found at the base of a large oak tree and is only newer pennies but it is the most coins I have found in a spill. There was an area with some sawdust about 6 feet in diameter that I swung the detector over and it went crazy with targets. I just put the detector down and used the pinpointer to recover all the pennies.
78 pennies recovered. Go figure. Not one dime or any other coin. I also found a 1910 Wheat and a really toasted green blob that I could not tell what it was, so I used electrolosis and it turned out to be a 1920 Wheat. Not very good shape, but I just wanted to know what it was. I found a cheap Scotty dog pin and also found a Lucky Lindberg token at about 8 inches. It is a little larger than a half dollar and commemorates Lindberg's crossing of the Atlantic dated 1927. Happy hunting and thanks for looking.
