1800’s pocket spill surprise!! Dime trifecta!!!

Mark kus

Well-known member
I’ve been hunting the same hotel area and very close to the same area I found the barber half last sat and two gold rings this past summer.
I had a solid hit but not a high tone.
So I cut a plug and checked it nothing still in the hole about 6-7” down I removed a scoop and dumped it when I saw what looked like a nickel?
Well I was right a 1897 V nickel! Then I noticed it was stuck to a Indian head penny!!! Wow! 1888 as I picked it up it fell and split apart!
then I saw silver!!! Wow! A beautiful 1897 barber dime!!!
My first 1800’s spill I could not believe it well I kept detecting hoping for more well I hit a silver Rosie next 1946 a 1956 also a 1903 indian a wheat penny then a nice high tone turned out to be a 1944 Washington!
great two hour hunt as I was moving slowly in a new area I had a 26-27 another silver dime?
Yep a 1944 mercury! So I also had a dime trifecta!
Today we went back and I found one wheat some clad and a nice cuff button which say POD railway mail service on it.
