Hey everyone, been too long! Been a really slow start to the year, I just havent been able to get out as much as I have in the past. Theres a few different reasons for this, but the main one is a kitchen remodel I've been working on since February. Completely gutted out a kitchen from the 1950-60's and have been rebuilding since. A gift for my sister in law (I'm doing it free of charge). I'll have to get some before and after photos up when its finished. But enough of that, let's get to the good stuff yesterday I did my routine one or two hour hunt after work. I decided to hit an overgrown farm field next a cellar hole, and across the street from a mid 1800's cemetery. I've done around the cellar hole in the past and found multiple dandy buttons, a matron, and a few other relics, but nothing too crazy. I go here every once in awhile, only because I know there's something special out there, just got to get the coil over it! Which is the hardest part, because the brush is so thick. Anyway I started working the lot across the street, which on aerials, shows it was once a farm field (now thick woods). I've dabbled in this area slightly in the past, and have never even found a coin in this particular area. So I get a nickel signal, didnt think much of it, I had already dug a couple shotgun shells at this point so.i figured it was more garbage. Well I threw the dirt out of the hole and saw "one dime" staring back at me. I was happy with that, and thought for sure I had a seated due to the age of the site, and the age of the relics. Ended up being a barber dime. Well why the nickel signal then? Sure enough, found 2 nickels in the hole, one buff and one V, along with 5 more silver dimes! I was on cloud 9 already, as that more than doubled my silver count for the year. I decided to give that immediate area another slow scan, and about 5-6' away, I get a jumpy 17,18,19,20. I was thinking could be a coin, but I was in no way prepared for what was about to come. I dig down and almost immediately see a large silver rim staring back at me. I knew it was a big silver, just wasn't sure how big. Ended up being the 1917 walker, but while digging that out, I cant help but notice MULTIPLE silver edges staring back at me when it was all said and done, I pulled 11 silvers out of that hole, one Walker, one stander and 9 dimes. Also 4 wheats were in this hole, and one had a fabric stuck to the side of it, so I was thinking either a wallet, or coin purse. I stuck around for another hour, with no more coins found. I seriously thought I had found my first cache, but so far, I'm more leaning towards coin spill. I guess we will find out based on the finds out there. I wont be able to get back out there til next week probably, but I'll keep you all posted if anything shows up. Enjoy the pictures, what a thrill! happy hunting everyone!
