Todays hunt was interesting due what was either a cache of coins some kid buried or a ash-tray full of coins dumped out. Hard to say what the cause is just use your imagination. It took me at least twenty minutes to get the coins all out of the dirt !
First picture, the coins right after exhuming them ! :
Second picture, cleaned and counted :
Todays finds totals:
The musket ball was from a field hunt found while trying to scout out a spot where there used to be a small pond. The heavy for its size metal under the little bling item was also found out there is a rather heavy and hard metal yet shiny like lead when scraped, possible some pot metal ? The blob of lead was found underneath the kids cache. Every item to the right of lead blob was in the kids cache ,except the 1969-s which was in another multi-coin dig. Will try taking a photo of the 1969 through a 10x loupe tomorrow, could not get the camera macro mode to get a crisp photo so no closeup picture on that tonight. The bling item was an eyeballed find while digging for a nickel signal, the metal on it reads in the foil range, seems like good metal, maybe silver.
Measurement photo for the musket-ball:
Hope you all enjoyed the post
