4 quarters equals 1 dollar right?? In finds

[garthbfan]

So I find this little park not to far from me a couple of weeks ago and have been chomping at the bit since to hunt it! I finally got out to it and man did it pay off. Went out for about 1 and a half hours. The first hour was slow and was thinking what a dud!! I then went from the playground area to the ball field and bingo found 7 dimes in a row!! I then went to the other side of the back stop and my first hit was a quarter. My second hit was a dollar on the old ACE250 at 4 inches. I have got to say in my short metal detecting career about 1 year I have dug about 20, 1 dollar targets and except for a 1922 Studebaker hubcap they have been all duds. Until this one. I dug the plug and flipped it over and BAM 5 quarters drop off the bottom of the plug. (Note to self write Garrett and tell the they need to put a 1.25 notch on the new ACES hehe)

All in all I finished this short hunt with 26 coins for a grand total of 3.14 cents. And a possible bonus the one dime I have seams to have been stamped wrong. Took a photo of it but I don't think it shows it very well. Not sure what this is called but going to have it checked out!! Thanks for looking!!

I can't tell in the pic, but how is the dime stamped wrong?

I have heard of people finding 2 x quarters and it read as half dollar. Never under estimate those ACES!

On the face of the dime the left side of the rim is raised a lot from the right side! I have never see a dime like this one and is very noticeable!! Thanks for all the comments!

It's a mistrike so check it out. It might be worth something. Check on the internet as their are sites dealing with errors and mistrikes.

I am still a newbie also but I got out alot this year and what I can tell you is pratice alot. Get out ,slow down and listen to your detector. I still dig most targets but I am guessing about 85 % right of the time as to what I am gonna dig. The 5 quarter spill I was wrong. I figured it was a big hunk of metal. But that's why you have to dig most targets. Especially the big ones. Good luck and have fun. Remember a bad day detecting is better than a good day at work!!

All Garretts can count. I've found two quarters stuck together several times that ID'ed as fifty cents.
