Front Yard Pocket Spill

[Saltshaker]

So I figured when I got home after work, I didnt have much time to go anywhere and since my house was built in '42 I thought I would hit the front yard for a little bit. Ran the SE Pro and got a hit that was all over the place. Signal was real jumpy but deep so I when I dug down, to my surprise, out came my first buffalo. Too crusty for a date but I stuck the pointer back in and it kept ringing. Out came 3 more nickels all from '41 ,then my first Merc which is too rough to date. I think it says 194? and lastly a Wheat penny too rough to date. Not bad for 15 minutes of time and some instant "firsts" for me. Hopefully I can find a few more gems in my yard.

Now that's a good find! Those deep spills and stacks of multidenom coins are often dismissed as junk! You did good!

Not really, its a bit rare. I almost did not dig it but due to the age of my place, I figured what the heck. Already pulled a silver Rosie and a war nickel in the back yard plus at least 5 bucks in clad all of them were solid signals.

At that angle you might be right, when looking at it before the pic I thought it was a 4 there.
