Three Silver Coins In One Hole !

[E-Trac-Ohio]

A Contractor I know is renovating a 1800's house for resale and he told me that I could hunt the yard.
The yard is very small - found nothing in the backyard and only one Wheat Cent in the side yard.
Then nothing in again in the front yard except another Wheat Cent.
After a half an hour or so I was beginning to think this yard was a real waste of time.
Then swinging along a some old concrete steps that go down to the road I got a nice Dime range hit - a Mercury Dime just saved the day.
Swinging over the same hole again - got another hit - a Silver Washington Quarter - put the Pin Pointer in the hole - out pops a Barber Quarter !
All three of the Silver coins were in the same 6" diameter hole and were about 6" to 7" down.

Mercury Dime - 1944
Barber Quarter - 1915-D
Washington Quarter - 1943
Wheat Cents - 1941 & 1944

Good Hunting !

Started off dry and disappointing, but turned into a dirty threesome 7 inches deep!

Awesome finds, looks like they could have been lost around 1943 based on the shape of the washington quarter and mercury dime

WW2 was good times actually. Not so much for soldiers overseas but at home everyone had a job and was working. Everyone had money in their pockets but very little to spend it on. As usual during a war, the mint cranked up production and the silver coins flowed. Everything was rationed. You couldn’t get enough gas to travel. Have you ever noticed how many mercury dimes with WW2 dates are found on Tnet?

That's exactly what I was thinking on the way home from the hunt.
The coins were on pretty much on top of each other so the couldn't have dropped by someone that was walking.

Yes, I agree - the Barber Quarter is 30 yrs. older and has a lot of circulation wear compared to newer Merc & the Washington Quarter have almost no wear.
I was also thinking that they were probably lost during WW2 or early 1950's at the latest.
