Hi all;
I hit the mother of all coin spills today. $26.81 in a 4x4 foot square spot! Barley two inches deep under light mulch. All nice and shiny,couldn't have been there long. How someone could loose that much and not see it is beyond me !?! Especially since it was five feet from the sidewalk in an open area. 00.webpIMG_20180212_192101328.webpSorry no picture of the spot , it was dark when i got tired of digging. Going back tomorrow to see if i missed anything. I'll update the post then.

You might have missed a can, jar, or pouch.
That's just too many coins to be in someone's pocket.
Congratulations

Nice finds BravoBob. Thanks for sharing...
 

That’s very cool! Well done :icon_thumright:
 

That's crazy.....and AWESOME!
 

Now thats what I call digging some battery money !
 

:icon_thumleft: Bet you were stoked when you kept pulling good targets. Congrats on the huge clad haul.
 

Very cool, congratulations. It appears from looking at you California guys that people just through money everywhere out there in large quantities.:laughing7: All you guys come up with great finds. Go get man, good going.
 

Outstanding spill recovery! :occasion14:
 

Holy moly, can you imagine if that was from the 1800s?
 

Very nice. Hope you find more!!
 

I've been to parks after festivals where crafts tables were set up and found one nice coin spill. One was a 1/2 roll of dimes(the paper gone) but they were still in order with several quarters in the hole. It's quite a surprise. Haven't been that lucky since though. Great find and Congrats. :thumb_up:
 

Could’ve been kids playing and that was their bank? Whatever it was there’s a lot of coins there man! 30 bucks in one spot...I’d take that!
 

Sweet finds. They don’t look like they have been in the ground too long. Hopefully it’s not a homeless persons bank vault.

Cheers
