First coins of 2011!

[DiggerDave in Pa.]

Checking this website out made me want to find the first coin of the year. I went to one of my "worked out" sites to see what I could find. There is a coating of snow on the ground here in Pa. and that makes it easy to see where you have been. I dug some of the usual junk, copper wire scraps, square nails and pieces of iron. I got a good +75 reading on my Spectrum XLT beside an old tree. I turned the plug over and found 7 coins scattered in the dirt. They were a 1911 Barber dime, 1907 V nickel, 1901 indian, 1910, 1911, 1916 and 1918 wheat cents. This is the most old coins I have found in one hole to date. I also found 2 flower buttons to finish my day. Not a bad start to the new year!

Congrats!

I believe Pocket Spill would be an appropriate term for this find. I can imagine a young man taking a break in the shade of that tree on a hot summer day getting up to go back to his chores or whatever he was doing minus a pocket full of change. Great find! Yard Digger

Great start for the new year, that is most likely more old coins than I will find all year.

Some spots the ground are not frozen at all. Leaf and snow coverage helps alot. On bare ground it is frozen 3 or 4 inches deep. This slows the digging down a bit. Not a good time to detect yards.
