Back out at the park for about 2 hrs, no rings today but I did manage to come up with $1.62 in clad, had a strong dime/copper penny signal that was just under the grass, dug around just enough to pry the coin out and out came a nickle, thought that was odd so tossed it over to the side and checked with the detector not a peep, stuck the pro pointer back in the hole and got a sound, next coin was a dime, rechecked and got a penny, then a quarter, another nickle and then 2 more pennies, first time I've ever gotten that many coins out of one spot.

small cache

A cache is a term associated with a dedicated amount of intentionally-buried mass or object. Some examples might be old Uncle Frank's hidden (a cache) jars or coins because he didn't trust banks during the depression era, of during early settlement times any bank was quite a ways away, if there was one.
I know of a hidden Piggy Bank that a gal and her friends intentionally buried as young kids. Too many early westerns on TV and theaters got them to plan this act to hide a container of money that they imagined was part of a stage robbery. Their 'plan' was to dig it up later in the year, but they forgot the specific location. This qualifies as a 'cache' because it was a group of coins, in a container, buried with the intent to hide it for future recovery.
There was a bank robbery in Eastern Idaho in April of 1916. Shooting also occurred before the two bank robbers rode off on horseback. With money, and I believe it might have been $4,000 or $14,000 and possible all gold coins fro some of what I have tracked down, was in at least one saddle bag. As they rode southwest they feared being caught with the loot. They stopped at an old homestead in the lava rock area and buried ('cached') their saddle bag/s, thought about hanging out there for the nigh but feared the old guy would return soon. Like many robbers of that era, their unlawful take would be 'cached' for a certain period of time and they would return when things 'cooled off.' Things did 'cool off' the next morning when they rode into an ambush by a posse which left them both cold. Dead. Without the bank loot and no longer able to tell what they did with it.
When my grandfather lived in northern Mexico and Pancho Villa was on his raiding missions, many Mexicans would gather their valuable gold and silver jewelry and other prized candle sticks and other goods and bury them . Certainly, these decision were to keep from having valuable in site, and the hidden items could be dug up at a future safe time. To intentionally hide these in a dedicated container is also a 'cache'.
Jumping off swings, rolling on the lawns in playful wrestling, sliding into base during a baseball game or meeting you match when being tackled when playing football can cause the loss of a single coin, a couple of coins, a pocket knife, or a 'spill' of several pocket items. These are simply accidental 'spills' and not a 'cache.'
Not meant to dampen your story of your finds, but there is a difference. Like others have wondered, I am also curious why you discovered one 5

Still even though I meant to clear up the label for such a find, I forgot to mention both 'Congratulations' because those are 'fun finds' (eliminates multiple bending and standing) 
And also it points out why a hand-held pinpointer is handy. I know I sure enjoy the performance from my Garrett Pro-Pointer. great depth and audible quality.
I hope this turns out to be a good year for you!

Thanks, its been a good yr so far especially now that its not raining all the time and the cold weather is going away, it also hasn't hurt that I'm keeping my sensitivity set lower for longer periods of time at least in places other than the park I've been hunting, and I'm digging those zinc signals now instead of bypassing those zince pennies, at least thats what I attribute finding the last 2 rings to.
