AN UNBELIEVABLE COIN SPILL!

[Johncoho]

While detecting at one of my favorite colonial permissions I had a signal in the 90's on my ATMax. At first I thought that it might be trash and almost ignored it, but decided to dig and see what it was. At 8 inches I found a large cent and closed the hole back up but checked again and still had a high tone so I opened it back up and used the pinpointer and found another one. Then it was one after the other until i closed the hole again. One more check again and I still had another signal in the mid 80's so pop the plug again and had another signal on the pinpointer but deeper and out pops a
Draped Bust half cent. Total for the spill was 1 Braided Hair, 3 Matrons, and the Draped Bust half cent. No date on the Draped Bust but three of the other LCs were 1828, 1834, and 1842. I couldn't get a date on one of the Matrons. It was an exciting 15 minutes. A little before this I dug a Radio Orphan Annie decoder badge and thought that my day was made but then this surprise. Thanks for looking and stay safe out there. After much more work on the Draped Bust, I believe the date is an 1800 using Andres pencils.

I think I can see 1808 but it might be my imagination..

Your dateless large cent is in the 1834-1837 range based on the shape of the head. Cool coin spill! You have to wonder how two holed coppers and two other coins got lost in that same spill many years ago.
