new way to coin roll hunt!!!!

[Goes4ever]

today I was detecting at an elementary school, get a signal that is so strong I can't ignore it.....

dig down just basically under the grass and look what I found...

a complete ROLL of dimes, paper has rotted away, thing that stinks is there was no silver, so I was skunked!

Luckily I dug a 1926 merc at the park to save the day

sorry pic is bad it was with my cell phone, but I knew I had to share this with you crazy CRHers

what was the oldest date from the dime roll?

what was the oldest date from the dime roll?

I honestly did not check, I just visually looked for silver

 

[silvercop]

just thought that if you knew the date of the olderst and the newest coin in the hole you could halfway determine how long the roll was buried, or at least you would have a good timeline

 

[Goes4ever]

ok just checked, oldest was 1967, newest was 2005.......

Sweet find Make sure you clean them up good before you turn them in, I don't like dirty change in my rolls

wow you must have some hard soil there. the paper dissolved in 4 years or less

Nice!

How did that sound when you scanned it?
Must have thought there was a can instead of all those dimes!

actually the soil here is real mild, wheats and indians almost always look great out of the ground

it about blew my ears off I did think it was a can and almost walked over it, guess it pays to always check out those signals!
