BAM! Silver Spill

[recondigger]

I only had about 30 mins to hunt so I ran down to the high school. I have hunted it before and it's loaded with clad and foil but I decided to only dig 12-45 and higher that we're at least 5 inches and 12-20 and lower for rings. Well I head for the older looking dirt on the one side and started swinging. 5 min later I got a slamming hit 3 inches but I had to dig it because it was so good. Well out came a 1897 barber quarter I didn't expect that It looked funny like it was stacked on another coin. I check the hole and bam another hit and a 42 walker half came out but the mark on the quarter didn't match I checked the hole again and holy poop another barber quarter 1898 we'll that was it in the hole and I'm happy. I did dig some clad about 2 bucks worth. And a fist full of foil.

Scouts out!

Great drop history lesson; that barber quarters were still circulating with Walking Liberty Half dollars in the 1940's. Now we know why many barber quarters found today are very worn.

Your right I never saw it coming. There is a 45 year gap in time between them. It still happens today but not to often.

I like seeing coins spills especially ones that were stacked on each other , found a stack of 5 buffalo nickels buried in the 1950's , somewhat similar to your discovery .

Scouts Out , I take it you were a Recon Marine , can you still hump 20 miles with 50 lbs. of gear , tough training and a force to be reckoned with , that's for sure .

Close I'm still in but I'm a Calvary Scout in the 10th mountain division so even better.. Lol we hump 25 miles with even more gear. But I'm due to retire on the 28th of June
