Got out for a few minutes this afternoon between some showers and braved the cold winds. Temp was about 40 and the wind was howling! The girlfriend dropped me off on the back side of the park so I could walk and detect my way back to the house as I wanted to hit an area where I pulled a 1895 V nickle at the other day. After about 45 minutes of slim pickings and mostly clad pennies I decided to cut across an area that I have'nt hunted much in the past. I noticed an odd looking small ridge running the length of a large hill and figuired it to be a good place to cross. Swinging my way along I hit a very unusual signal.....my explorer was saying kind of indianhead penny on the smart scrren but the tone was very odd? I decided since I had'nt done alot of digging and the signal was odd I would pop a plug and see what the cause of this signal was. After cutting the plug I flipped it over and notice right away a shiny silver! Bingo a sweet 1905 barber dime woohoo! I start to replace the plug but began to wonder why this silver was ringing in so odd???? I figuired I better resweep the hole to make sure. Instantly get the funky signal once again... A little work with my pinpointer produces a 1904 V nickle.... wow! so I cover the hole and just for giggles resweep again and still that darn signal! so back I go with the pinpointer....out comes a 1899 indianhead then I decided to keep the pinpointer in action and out comes the second barber this ones a 1898, then another V nickle 1897, then a 1904 Indianhead surfaces! Most oldies out of one hole I ever dug! hope you enjoy....P.S. notice how the reverse on the V nickles show where the other coins laid on top

gratz on the diggs that was a great spill
 

awesome find!! CONGRATS
 

Wow, what a great plug! That experience is one we all dream of. Congratulations.
 

Great job, from someone just a little south of you. Hard to stay enthused sometimes up here in the northwoods where there just were not the populations of people in this area in those days that led to large concentrations of coins for us to find! Stories like this keep me going!
 

SJ47,
Nice job. That is one of the best pocket spills I have heard of in a long time. How deep were the coins?
