Yesterday, my sister and I went to a totlot for an hour. This park has been producing a lot of clad for us. When we got there, we started detecting in the wood-chips by the playground equipment; I found a quarter and a penny. :detector:

After a couple minutes of searching I went over to detect under the bench along side the playground. I've heard stories of people finding coin spills and/or jewelry under them, so I walked over there and started swinging. On the left side I got a good signal, but thought it was the supports for the bench. However, after checking the right side of the bench about the same distance away from the pole as I did on the left side and not getting a signal at all, I decided I should dig the target. :yes: I am glad I did! I found 5 quarters, 4 dimes, 1 nickel, and 8 pennies. That's 18 coins totaling $1.78!

The first picture is what I saw when I first flipped open the plug. After being amazed at that, I looked in the hole and there was still more! :D Even after I scooped up what was in the hole, the detector said there was still more, so I kept digging. :digginahole: There was still more after that, so that process was repeated a few times. :detector: The second picture is all that came out of the spill, and lastly the final picture is my spill compared to the rest of my clad for the day. :D The total I found was $2.64. :D

Between the 6 short times we've been there, I've found $10.71 (not counting what my sister and brother have found). God bless & happy hunting! :mder:

Congrats on the coin spill finds...………...my best coin spill ever was last year at a soccer field...…..8 clad quarters in the same hole.
 
Nice work Wolf.

Not counting the roll of pennies I found all laid out in a row after the paper wrapper disintegrated, my biggest coin spill was last year in a CoinStar reject slot 🤪.
 
Nice job kid!
At the end of the year you will have a nice pile of loot to buy some quality collectible coins:D
 
Thanks Everyone

Coin spills are always fun. Way better return on time invested than single coin targets!
Thanks, Steve! They sure are. :yes:

Thanks, Matt! That's the nice thing about MDing and coin collecting, they support each other. :D

Yup , nothing better then sticking the pinpointer back in multiple times and hearing it go off after you have just pulled a coin .
Great spill 👍
 
Congrats on the spill. It's always exciting pulling coin after coin out of the same hole! Hope you stumble upon another soon...maybe with some silver mixed in!;)
