I’ve been without my pinpointer (off to Garrett for free warranty repair) for over a week. It’s been seriously slowing down my digging as many signals are mixed in roots in the woods... but must keep digging...

Here’s the handful from last week.

Been about a month since my last silver, so when a 1960 Rosie popped at a 1870 cellar, I was surprised, but still pleased.

Today’s lunch hunt at a site in the woods of an old crossroads store/home lead to an unusual spill.

Best I could do in the woods was read the number 1, thought play coin, then 4 more small ones and one big one popped from same 2’x2’ spot.

Most likely brought home by a US soldier after WW2 and their kids lost them in the yard.

Update 7/16. Another lunch hour, expanded the area to a 10’x10’ patch and 9 more Nazi Pennies popped. Weird...

Those old coins are a bonus for sure. I'm with the kids theory.

Very interesting finds! Around 2004 I found a Nazi 5 pfennig coin on the counter at a 7 eleven. It's a powerful piece of history to find. No idea how it traveled so far and remained in circulation. I made it into an artpiece.

About 15-20 years ago I got a 1948 1 pfennig in change (it was easy to confuse with a penny), thought it was pretty cool obviously not a Nazi coin but still cool. Would love to know it's travels.

Also nice saves PA_Dirt nice to mix up the finds, also any silver is always welcome.
