More Silver from the Park!

[Pocket Spill]

Went to a north side Chicago park for a few hours this morning. I found a few mercs there last weekend. First old coin I found today was a 1935 Merc. Found several wheaties including a 1918/1919 pocket spill of 4 wheaties. Then moved to another location at the park. Got a nice quarter signal and got a 1904 Barber Quarter. Checked the dirt I took out of the hole and there was a 1907D Barber Quarter also! They are both pretty worn and likely lost in the 1930s/40s but they are my first barber quarters this year. Ended up with the 3 silver, 7 wheaties (18, 19(2), 19D, 41, 45D, 53D) and a 1941 Canadian penny.

Litefire56 - Regarding the depth. They were only about 4 inches down. They were not next to trash and I don't think they were on edge because it was a real strong signal. Not sure how they avoided a coil for so many years. The other Mercs I found at this location have been more iffy signals surrounded by trash that I was able to identify by going real, real slow with the Etrac.
