View attachment 855696Yesterday I went on one of my long road trips I like to take and I was hitting old schools and parks.

The second place I was at it was a square city block park on the other edge of town. I was their for awhile and not finding anything and I kept looking over at the far corner of the park. Their was a cherry tree and a evergreen bush there and it just did not look right until the light went on in my head, I bet their use to be a house there. So I worked my way over there and when I got about 5 foot from the cherry tree I got a weird signal. The numbers were jumping from 36 to 48 and the high tones was kind a fading in and out a lil. it wasn't a good strong tones. I cut out a plug and checked the hole with the PP and there was something in to bottom of the hole. I took out some more dirt and that's when I got a Seated dime, sweet. I rechecked the hole and there was more in it and that's when the fun really got going. Out of that hole I found a 1908s Barber half, a 1894o Barber quarter, 2- Seated dimes,, 1888, 1891s and 2- Barber dimes, 1902o, 1903. WOW, that's the best silver coin spill I've ever found, jackpot, Needless to say I hit that corner of the park really hard, lol but I didn't find anything else except for a wheat at the other end of the block. Now how in the heck did everybody that MDed that park in the past miss this coin spill???? because this place was picked over pretty good.

The next place I stopped at I found a rosie and a bunch of quarters, they were everywhere and their was a few plugs from another MDer there. He must of not been interested in clad quarters. I don't dig much clad but I never pass up a clad quarter, lol I was at this place for about a hour and I think I got about 4 bucks in clad quarters.

I didn't do any good at the next few places I stopped at until the last place I was at for the day and I did pretty good there. I found a 58d washington Q, 2 Merc's, another rosie. I got a 5 wheat penny spill there.

So I ended the day with 11 silver coins, 11 wheat's and the silver coin spill of a life time.

the first picture is just the coins from the spill and the other pic's is all of the silver's for the day

Now that's a sweet spill, congrats on the find.
 
WOW that is :censored:ing awesome !!! I am so mad at you for not letting me help you dig them up.
 
Now that is a great silver spill! It's neat to see seated coins circulating with Barbers. You can see how worn they are. What a sight that must have been pulling all of those silvers out of the hole.
 
11 silvers is a great day, most for me is maybe 8 or 10, sell the mercs and rosies and keep the rest, lol
 
wow, thanks guy's for all the nice replies and for all the "likes"

I do not post on here very often but that coin spill is a once in a life time thing and I just had to share it with you guys.

It just shows that finds like that can still be found at public places, but not very often,

thanks guys
 
MarkinIa, you had the fun but the pleasure is ours so thank you for sharing your wonderful day out detecting. The place with all the clad quarters, must be a Quarter Horse riding area. Possibly your heart rate is back down to normal by now so go out and have some more fun!.........63bkpkr
 
AWESOME FINDS!!!
 
tooo coool great finds
 
Is it funny when we detect, life looks totally different in our thought process, super job!
