1900 pocket spill provided me with a bucket list coin today.

Just moved to Appleton wi , so i decided to try out a few parks. After about 4 1/2 hrs in this park, i got a broken up multi tone reading on my minelab pro se exorer. I dug down about 10 to 11 inchs before i got a pinpointer signal. First i popped out the v nickel and was very excited. I put the pin pointer back in the hole and got another reading. After moving the dirt a little i saw a silver edge. Now i was very happy! Especially when i saw the one dime. I took it to a fountain right by me and washed the dirt off. It was a 1899. Then went back to the hole expecting that it was done, but there was another signal. I got a indian head penny and another nickel size coin. When i got home i could make out a hard to see 5 on one side and a shield on the other!! "Bucket lister", I have been waiting for this coin since 1969! along with a few others now.
