Surprise, 6 dimes and one quarter in the same hole.

[wild eyed willey]

I decided to hunt a very small park nearby. It isn't very old so I didn't expect much. I got a good signal and dug my plug and quickly found a dime. I checked the hole before filling it in and continued to get signal, by the time I was finished I had pulled out 6 dimes and a quarter all within the first five inches of the surface, but spread out in the hole both wide and deep. What I can't figure out is how this could have happened. None were old, but like I said the park isn't very old. I had really expected to find any change close or on the surface but everything I found was several inches down and generally not in the plug. I think I will go back as soon as I have some time. Any ideas as to how those coins could all have gotten in the same hole but spread out? All I can think of is that someone buried them there.

Pocket spill. Someone laid down and out went his change......a fairly common find....especially at the beach. My best one so far is 40 coins for a total of $4.93.

I pull Zincolns out at 5-6" all the time and an 1868 2-center at 1". You just never know.

You hit a little "Honey hole"! I've had that happen a lot on beaches too.

Friend & I found over 160 Memorial pennies in a 4 foot area, once. We left some in the ground, too. Never could figure out why those were there.

how long could it take for say 7 coins spilled out of a pocket and laying on the surface grass to become worked under the soil to say five inches deep? anyone got any ideas?

Too many variables to predict that. Type of soil, how much water it gets, type of lawn mower equipment, what kind of use that section of grass gets, all play a part in that.
