I was not expecting anything spectacular, but boy did I get the shock of a lifetime, another one off my bucket list.

I had only a couple hours to hunt and figured I'd go mess around at this little grass strip that borders a kiddie play area and the main road. Upon looking at this area, it doesn't look like much to be desired.....
After hitting the Ben Franklin Half (I can now take this one off my bucket list) I knew I had found a small piece of land that has never been detected!! Over the next 20 minutes, I found all the coins pictured. I also found my oldest IH cent too (1864)
I recommend re-evaluating these little places.
Thanks for looking.

Congrats on the nice finds--they made your hunting day very spectacular--Like Digger says, Ya never know what it is unless you dig it! I found areas that once i tried were great in finds-- off beaten paths are good too especially where WOODS with lots of trees are with hidden paths BUT of course a person needs to be always watchful of who & what is around them; especially when hunting alone--more so now in these dangerous times! :thumbup: Ma Betty
 
Thank you. I am shocked nobody has hunted this little area because everything else around it has been pounded to death. Yes, this is gonna be a difficult day to beat unless I find a cache of silver coins in a mason jar lol

Man that's awesome there ,, a giant congrats to you,, gonna be hard to top that day.

If God wants you to find & be blessed with a cache find of Silver &/or even Gold, He will lead you to it by listening to His still small voice speaking & guiding you, daily, by your prayers & faith in Jesus for His helping & healing His people & our nation, The USA & YES!, even the world, for God created & owns everything--visible & invisible--like HIDDEN TREASURE! :thumbup: :detecting:! Amen! Ma Betty
 
thanks Gunnar. I have to say, to date; this 1882 seated dime is the nicest looking coin I ever found. Hopefully there is more!!

O.M.G"""""" you made it to the twilite zone bro that 1882 seated is in AU condition Amazing finds
