Large $3.41 silver coin spill with (Canada) bills! One of my most intriguing finds...

[Scrappy]

I went out today, and found a wallet coin holder filled with silver and wheats with the old CTX. The coins just kept coming and here's a pic during the fun...





Funny enough, the signal was initially a 12-41 (wheat penny) on the CTX.
For a few laughs I brought the wallet home with the coin impressions and all of the sudden I see a bill!


It turned out to be just the ink of the bill that stained the leather after disintegrating.



Very very cool. The coins in total equal $1.41. Now as for the bills, the $1 bill is obvious, but there was another bill mixed in that was expertly identified by Bartek, and another Tnet member in "what is it?"

A Canada $1 Bill from the 1930's!





What a fun time I had this afternoon with this find.

Here are the cleaned up coinage.




The oldest wheat is 1916, the newest coins are 1951. Enjoy and good digs

Steve

Super fun find, and nice forensic work on the ID by others. You have such a great time in this hobby, it is enjoyable to spectate.

BOBs and others who have hunted with this man: has anyone actually seen his feet? Like, are they actually lucky rabbits feet or something? Four leaf clover birthmarks? Any strange rituals or sacrificial rites prior to powering up the detector? Inquiring minds want to know...

Very Very cool! That's a find you are not likely to forget.

This is a very interesting find! Congratulations! I certainly have never found a Canadian 1930's bill with a metal detector.

Boom! Jackpot Scrap! So...was it a..LOUD wheat signal? At least tell us you ALMOST passed on it...lol..Great find...my largest or multi-silver spill has been limited to a paltry 2 coins, but has happened a few times. Congrats..Ddf

I guess being exposed to the elements for as long period of time, (60 plus years) will cause I.D. papers and licenses to decompose. Very nice find. I imagine someone fell asleep against a tree.
A hard find to top.
Congratulations

Haha, thanks. Nope, no rituals - just a ton of research...

Occasionally I'll hum "Mercedes Benz" by Janis Joplin. Thanks for looking bud

Man that's pretty wild, what a fun find!

It was a fun time J. I usually prefer to dig old, but this pile of leather, bills, and coin was a blast.

I read what you wrote on one of your threads about the research and scouting that nobody hears about. Well the story behind this hunt was I searched for a cellar for 2hrs in dense woods and found nothing. Lucky my backup plan worked

Very cool find Scrappy, it's one of the finds that kind of rents space in the memory bank. Congrats

Too funny on the humming the tune, I've found myself more than a few times having Janis renting space. When the weather/conditions are rotten, the one tune that of hummed is "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot.

Congrats on the unusual find very nice

 

[joeyfresh]

Even though its not old it's a super duper cool find. FU Steve and your lucky rabbit feet!

That find would make me smile for a month! Gold star for you today -
