Shaking my head in glorious disbelief! Went to a current permission spot I've been milking since last year....dodged the rain and SCORED!!! Targets are few and far between, but they are usually quality. 45 mins in...2 zincolns...I'm like WTH? Soon dug a nice 1903 Canadian Large Cent . After a few trash targets and some relics...45 mins later I get a sweet silver tone. Flip the plug and pointer finds a Barber dime half inch in the plug. I take a pic, unaware there are more coins..haha (See pic 3...Quarter peeking in dirt) I didn't notice it....until I looked down and saw a penny sticking out, Started removing coin after coin from the plug,,,my hands were shaking!
Best pocket spill ever.......
GRAND TOTAL - POCKET SPILL
4 Wheats - 2-1920, 2-1916
1 Buffalo - 1920
2 Barber Dimes - 1912 & 1916
2 Barber Quarters - 1898 & 1894
!

After that, hunt was over...I immediately drove home a happy camper with my new treasures! LOL

Thanks for looking!. HH!

Wow! :shock: I dug a canadian large penny here in S. Cal yesterday ('09) too, but your old coin spill is remarkable!

Good job!
