I haven't coin hunted in about 38 years. I like to relic hunt. Deer Season is still going on here so that is out. MidMoTreasure has been giving me pointers on my CTX 3030 so I figured I would do some coinhunting and learn some more about this new machine. We had about 3 hrs to hunt. We went to the outskirts of town to look at a rodeo arena. We got there and I dug my first pull tab,piece of copper wire, can slaw,after about 15 minutes I spied some woods near a creek and headed for the woods. Some more junk and then a a really good signal.

Silver Rosey dime and then another and then a couple more. I'm rooting around on my hands and knees with a garrett carrot stick and they are still coming out of the hole. MidMoTreasure walks over to see what I'm digging. Then I pull out a Dr West's Toothbrush and a silver dime then a Pal razor and a Pal razor blade dispenser, some pieces of iron, a D buckle off of a western belt some silver, the tip off of the belt and some more silver dimes.

13 silver dimes. 1 1947, 1 1957, 3 1959's, 3 1961's, 1 1963, 4 1964's. No copper,no nickels. Just silver dimes.

Sorta like digging 13 minie balls out of one hole, sorta....... but it's a start for my first coin hunt and on my birthday to boot.

Looks good to me. If they were in a very concentrated area could have once been a coin purse that was lost or a kid's cache.

You use a dime coin roll to weight/stiffen your fist when you want to knock someone the heck out, or it's just a spill. Any teeth found nearby?!:icon_scratch:

Nice Silver Finds.

Nice finds..

Yep. Won't ever forget all the times I saw my Ol' Man emerge from the bathroom with more than a couple swatches of blood dabbed toilet paper clinging to his face after using that kind of razor for a shave.

Nice finds. Had to be pretty cool dippin' into the the Rosie well and extracting silvers like they were sips of water! Big congratz

I'd call that a cache, Congrats! Make sure you detect the other side of the creek too, never know!

That's fabulous, Moreb!

Maybe he knocked him out and shaved his head? LOL Honestly, I like the kid's cache idea best! I hope nothing happened to him but forgetfulness.

Congrats. My guess would be a rodeo cowboy campsite. Prize money wasn't that much back then. If he didn't place those lost items might have had more importance than we would think today. I do love the finds that we get to ponder.
