Pics of the park were I found 557 clad coins in 4 digs

Here are a few pics of the area of the park were I dug up 499 pennies, 37 dimes, 11 nickels , 10 quarters, and one nice ladies ring. As you can see from the pics most of the coins were not that deep and in some kind of dirt and small wood chips. Hope the pics are clear enough. Shane

That's a lot of dug holes. You must be retired and have plenty of time to dig Just kidding. That's a bunch of coins in one area. WTG on digging all of those.

some of the finds were 3 to 5 coins in one hole. Makes it a lot easier and less holes. Yep been retired since 2002. After 42 years at the same place doing the same job. lol. Enjoy Shane

I would usually be out for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours a hunt. Total time I would guess about 10 hours. Did not go out everyday in a row. Took about week and a half to make up the 4 hunts. I would say over 60% of the coins I found were found in very shallow spots. Not more then a inch in the ground, and many were found with 3 to 5 coins in one hole.That's were my pin pointer came in handy. Thanks for looking at the pics Shane
