Whats your largest pocket dump?

What's your largest pocket dump?

Found my largest coin pocket dump in 37 years of hunting. In one hole (they were actually sitting on top of the soil in tall grass) I found 4 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickels and 8 pennies. $1.48 (all clad). The park I was hunting has lots of rolling mounds and lots of big shade trees so there's always people laying out enjoying the sun or the shade, depending on the season. I have found numerous spills there but this one just wouldn't quit. By the way, it was a lunch time hunt and just brought along my Discovery 2000. I was using auto-notch with tone ID and got nickel, zinc and silver signals that were tight and repeating (after slowing down) the first signal was jumping all over. This is a good lesson to slow down on a bouncing signal and check it out. I know a lot of times when I get this type of response and don't slow down, it just sounds like trash. Anyway, came back to work after a 1 hour hunt with $2.55 in clad. Not a bad lunch break.

$2.50

10 quarters (all modern clad) stacked in a nice row about 3" deep. That one tested the noise limiters on the 'ol Black Widows.

Once found over 80 cents, all clad, in a local park. Pulling 'em all out took almost 10 minutes.

Got a hit in a woodchip tot lot, chizzeled it out (January in Mo, gotta love it) and had found 7 quarters, 5 dimes, 3 nickels, and 2 pennies...only my 4th day hunting 8) I was happy because my soon to be father in law was giving me a hard time the whole night before about spending more money on the batteries than I was making on the finds!...lol

.78 in a park field where kids play football. 3 quarters and 3 pennies...all clad....about a half inch deep. Almost passed it over because of the weird signal...like trash because they were close but not touching...but I kept waving my coil over it from different directions until curosity got the best of me. Found several dimes very close to the same hole so I just had that feeling.

I found $1300.00 once in the dryer at a laundry, found the owner and returned it. Wasn't hard to find the owner, I just waited and he came back and was almost in tears as he searched the place, when he asked if I had seen a large amount of cash, I knew it was his. I had to wait about 3 hours but it was worth it. Another time, I was driving down a country road and saw money scattered so I stopped and picked it all up. It was about $150.00. I also found the coin purse it was in. The only I.D. in it was her babies sonagram picture with her name on it. I called the hospital and they couldn't give me her number so I asked them to call her and give her my number. She called and when we got together she counted the money and there was $10.00 more than she had. She had left her coin purse on the back of her car while she loaded her baby up and had forgotten it.

Re: What's your largest pocket dump?

Odd last year I had several large coin spills...one was over $8 under some leaves...may have been hidden....one was 33 coins in a pile...I wondered if someone put them there for me to find... also have had tons of penny/cent clusters where i have dug close to 100 under a single tree...also dimes like that too but not as many...tons of coin spills last year for me... With the dfx they will sometimes as I call it appear to be "raining" on the positive side of the vdi scale with signals jumping all over but staying on the positive side of the display....often get these in tot lots..when kids hide all their pennies... The $8 one was around 50 coins...and I think was hidden by panhandlers who work the area...

I found about twelve bucks last summer along a curb line where the newspapers are dropped off for delivery every morning. Mostly quarters and dimes with a few nickels and no pennies. I started to leave a couple of times but just kept picking up signals and the coins were down in the grass pretty deep but not under ground. That wasn't what I was looking for but it was a nice gift to start the day. Monty

Re: What's your largest pocket dump?

Years ago at the local park, found about $17.50 in change scattered on top of the ground in a 3 foot square area at the local park... figured someone's cash box from a nearby function from the previous day got dropped on the ground. Also unwittingly found an Easter Egg hunt area where they had buried zip-lock bags with about 100 pennies each in the ground so that only a corner was sticking out of the ground. The grass was tall and it rained for 2 days before Easter Sunday, so most of them probably weren't found... I recovered 16 bags of pennies. Almost felt bad about taking them, but they would have rotted away in the ground in no time, and noone came up to me from the high-rise apartment building across the street who probably held that doomed hunt. Another time I found 38 wheat pennies scattered on top of the ground with torn up penny wrappers. Also found torn up dime and quarter wrappers on the ground, but no dimes or quarters - just the wheaties. My best "pocket dump" would be 1 seated half, 2 seated quarters, 1 seated dime, and 3 V nickels in the same hole. HH, Mike.
