One hole wonder

[Joe-Dirt]

So Monday and Tuesday I got absolutely skunked, no clad, no pennies, no cool relic things, nothin’. So today I got to a weird place near some railroad tracks just to enjoy the day. I get a 8” 24-25 on my Nox so being all excited that I may have found a clad dime or even a wheatie I dig my plug, 20 minutes later, I’m left with this pile of 107 Memorial pennies😒, it was fun to dig and there might be a few wheaties in there. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it😳

Looks like they're copper and not zincolns. Coulda been a lot worse!

In the 80's I found a roll of clad dimes and that was before pinpointers. It took a while to find them all but sure enough, there was 50.

 

[Joe-Dirt]

The ones I could see dates on puts them in the mid 1960’s. They’re still soaking

 

[MSpeiser]

Lol, never found THAT many in 1 hole before. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Silvermonkey]

That's quite a pile of coins! Wouldn't you love to know how they got there! Cool find!

 

[Joe-Dirt]

Why couldn’t it be 107 cap bust dimes??

 

[Tuberale]

Indeed? WHy couldn't it be 107 Capped Bust Dimes?

 

[silverfreak]

That's pretty cool. I bet it was fun!

There was an old homesite in the woods near my place in Ak i was hunting my favorite venue, The Woods lol. Near this old tree i started banging in Copper cents as i remember there were over a hundred or so they are still in a jar at my home, the newest was 1953 the oldest was 1918 i think......

 

[park pirate]

Yup looks like someone lost a roll or two ...

Congrats Joe, that's got to be some kind of record! Wonder if there's another pile of coins there too?

 

[RVRoamer74]

Cool finds! Glad you were out and about. Thanks for sharing.

 

[jewelerguy]

[Rookster]

Tough luck buddy but great find. I know it was fun.

 

[Trezurehunter]

They may have only been pennies, but it sure was better than digging 107 separate holes ! Get them all out of the way in one shot like you did !

 

[Joe-Dirt]

I think I’ll go back with my big coil and see where the dimes and quarters are

 

[Bodkin]

Nice! Nothing wrong with that! Could just have easily been a pile of gold coins. You just never know.
