Old pocket spill

[Mainedigger]

WEnt into the woods today looking for an old foundation that I ahven;t been able to find and today was no different...couldn;t find it. Ended up detecting around some old stone walls and found the normal shotgun shells etc..but did get a good solid penny/dime signal on my M6 and found this pocket spill along with a musket ball down about 8 inches. 1802 LC, 1793 George III, an undated George II and an undated either George I or II. First pic is slightly cleaned second two are after soaking and cleaning a bit more.

Maine, that is one heck of a great spill. That is a spill that you'll never forget.

Now, get back out there and dig us another one, buddy!

Just think, that was one pocket spill. Took a lot of man-hours to build those old stone walls, so look for his other lunch spots!

That is one nice pocket spill. Is there any way to gauge when it was lost? I mean, was it in an area where the soil conditions would cause the coins to wear down more than usual? IE, previous farmland where fertilizer was prevalent? Jeez, I gotta stop writing these posts at 3:00 in the morning when I come home from work. Anywoo, great finds.

Have you ever wondered how that musket ball happened to be in there with them coins? Could have been a good old time 'Mugging'? With the demise of the unwilling victim! or could have been his last musket ball for his kind of hunting. Highly unlikely though, they were either drunk or rotting away, to have lost a years pay. Nice finds........NGE
