A short hunt very productive

[MayberryMonte]

I set out this morning meaning to hunt an old mining town from around 1850 but I decided to finish up a previous hunt on the property of a torn down house which was on the way. I had hit this spot a couple of weeks ago without much success except around the driveway. I found about 20 coins,all pennies in a 4 sq. ft. area and was getting some other hits when the rains came and shut me down. I figured I'd finish up, 20 min. tops and then on to the mining town. Two hours later, I had dug 139 coins(all clad,$2.93, except for 2 wheats, 1952 and 1944) plus a rusted maul from the base of an old oak tree , a small piece of metal, and a balance weight for a tire. There were 125 pennies, 8 rosies, 3 nickels, and 3 quarters All of this came from a 10 x 10 area on the driveway. Every time I thought I was through, the 250 played my tune. I finally decided to stop and come back another time. There's no doubt that there's probably more to be found . Never did get to the mining town but that gives me something to look forward to.

Sounds like they kept dumping coins when taking their car keys out of their pocket.
