Pocket spill or is it pocket dump?

[WHADIFIND]

Up to now, if I find a few coins in one hole or near to each other I've been saying, Pocket spill.

But, today, 90 percent of the pennies in the picture were within a 1 foot circle! Spill? Dump ! LOL






Even got a nice little surprise today.




It says 1/10th 10KT



Welp, my ride's here again.

Thanks for peeking!

That's pretty awesome. Only ever found one per hole. HH

Sounds like someone cleaned out their car and emptied out their ash tray or something. Have found a few areas like that but usually right next to the curb where they
were dumped from a car. Either way it is still fun to find some many that close together. Congrats.

I found a spot in a park that was old sawdust and it set my machine off like crazy so just to see what the fuss was about i dug a target...coins tons and tons and tons of coins just laying in the sawdust ...i figure it must have been from a fair or event for kids

Yeah, I had something similar before this. I started trying to ground balance the machine and couldn't find a clean spot to put the coil down. I dug to make some room and started pulling wheatie after wheatie after wheatie. The ground was FULL of them! LOL

Thanks!

Well, there was a LOT of them in that one circle today. But, overall, I'd say yeah, I've been pretty blessed. Still, I don't know how many is a "lot" as far as an average goes. I think it's more that I spend more hours then most. A lot of coins? Yeah. But, for 4 hours?

Thanks!

You should try and research and find a place that use too be a old car wash in the early-mid 20th century! I have hunted some before and have gotten about the same load you have but i hunt mostly colonial/19th century places but I do sometimes go out and try and find fairly modern coins! Good luck dude!

No need. I checked it as I crawled back out of it.

Thanks!

Well, this hunt and a few others are just my way of getting out. I find it fun to go to a park, school ground, etc that I know will have clad but that also has a fair chance for a surprise or two. I have found some of the most interesting finds in places where one wouldn't normally think they would be found. It's kind of fun. Ya know?

But, I also do some serious research too. Such as the mansion I go back to every now and again and the school yard where the ball field isn't where it used to be way back in the 30's. And, just this year I started on a cornfield that has a VERY interesting and varied history!

I've even been known to get wet from time to time and dig a bottle or two too.

So, you see, I'm not limiting much. Today was just a wee bit of fun.

Thanks!

Great finds! Congrats and HH!

Nice pile of clad you got there! i had something similar once, i think it was about 30-40 pennies (1 wheat) that looked like someone whipped a roll at a tree and it exploded onto the ground below. I found all of em within about a 6 foot area of the tree

 

[VERMONTIS]

FUN that's what maters It's getting out and digging and finding history= ED

I was wondering what percentage was copper? I too found about 30-40 pennies in a 3 foot circle next to a tree. No wheats thought. My half eaten zinc pennies end up in a coffee can that I leave by the curb for the guy who drives around picking up metal in his pick-up on trash day. You should have seen the look on his face the first time he pulled the lid off that coffee can.
