First Silver Coin(s)...GIANT QUARTER SPILL!!!

toorude89 · Nov 17, 2012

I went back to my old Elementary school this morning intending to find lots of clad and buy silver on ebay. That is how I "find" silver since I have never found a silver coin metal detecting. Last weekend I found 32 quarters and 13 dimes in 2 hours and bought a nice barber quarter. I hoped to have as much luck today. I wasn't finding much and decided to hit the path to the neighboring high school. I passed an old picnic ground that I have searched before finding only trash. I had the Ace 250 set to just dimes, qtrs, halves, dollar. Just lookin for clad! I get a 50 cent signal and think "Oh boy! another $.50 spill! I have found a lot of 2 quarter holes (lunch money). I dig deep and find what I still cannot believe. Never thought I would have a find like this. 15 silver quarters (1939, 1940, 2x1941, 3x1942, 1943, 3x1944, 1945, 3x1946) and 1 wheat cent (1939) in the same hole!

HH to all!!

Update I found a 16 in the same hole and a silver ring on my way to the car.

Wow! Way to go for your first silvers! 1-15 in one hole and all quarters! And I would say your first cache! You just never know what you will dig up next! That is an incredible dig! Those will look nice beside your Barber quarter you bought. Great pictures too! Keep it up and good luck on your next hunts! :icon_thumright:
