Turn of the last century coin spill

[40 Rounds]

It was a slow day with only a wheat penny to show for my efforts. Then I got a deep iffy signal that I was pretty sure was a piece of aluminum. I decided to dig it because of the depth and saw some roundness at the bottom of the hole immediately. I opened the hole up a little more and a flash of silver caught my eye! The silver was big silver! Of course I had no water on me but I could tell it was a Barber half dollar by the exposed areas. Checking the hole there were 3 V nickels in the spill as well. The half dollar is a 1900 O. The V nickels are 1891, 1898 and 1903. Best spill I have found!

Fantastic coin spill!! Congrats !!
That 1900-O Barber half is in beautiful condition.
With less than 3 million minted, that should be worth
a few hundred skins.

The only thing better than an old coin spill, is an old coin spill with Big Silver. Great looking half dollar. Congrats!

Congrats on the big silver, and the 3 V Nickels.
How deep was the spill?

Spill was about 8 inches. The mix of coins gave off a weird VDI, maybe 22-23 on my Equinox 800. There was iron close by further convoluting the signal

That's a sweet coin spill and congratulations! This is a great lesson for those that work areas that have been worked over and over. Dig ALL iffy targets and at some point, without a doubt, will unearth some nice ....TREASURE!
It reminds me of a small spot I worked that was cleaned out with the exception of two signals. One was very deep and iffy pulltab/nickel. The other was a wide nickel signal that I thought might be a chain. The first was a war nickle sandwished to a merc a about 8 inches. The wide nickel was three nickels spread out over about four inches and the first coin that came out was a silver Washington quarter that was being masked by the three nickels.

Fantastic find! The barber is in great shape. We have to keep digging those scratchy signals to find what's left of the good stuff.

Ha! One time a friend got an iffy signal and kept going. I checked it out a few minutes later and it was a silver dime hiding under a nickel! It pays to dig those oddball signals.
