6 Silver GW Quarter Coin Spill

[Eastender]

Today I was out detecting in 30 degree woods and I found my first ever coin spill. Out of one hole came GW quarters from 1941, 1944, 1951S, 1952D, 1959D, and 1964. The nickel is a 1943P along with 4 wheaties including a 1929 and 1941.

I am hunting a stubborn colonial site that doesn't give much. But when it does, the coins are very collectable. Aside from 4 1700s buttons today, I was getting skunked. Have to admit it was exciting to keep pulling up silver. Wanted it to keep coming.

I'd take a 7 silver spill any day of the week. I'll bet you warmed up real quick while digging that !

Nice pile O silver! Even if looking for colonial, modern silver still gets the blood pumping.
Thanks for sharing.
They look a little scratched from swiping them to get dates. If so, please stop that and wait until you have some water and soft toothbrush to clean without scratching. I don't see any key dates, but if you had found a 32D and you scratched it, you'd be bummed after realizing the loss of value.
Happy 2025, all!

I'm 64 and a detecting diehard. I will go out into the woods for 6-7 hours in freezing snow with a 20 pound backpack on. Last week I was out in 20-40+ wind gusts near the ocean. Had the hood up. Some of my hunts take nearly an hour just to walk in. I carry plenty of food and water, first aid kit, GPS, fire, headlamp, maps...the old Boy Scout in me. I like how light snow allows me to see where I have detected. Even below freezing, the decaying leaf matter keeps the ground soft.

On the opposite end I will go out into 90+ degree weather with high humidity. I wear enough clothes to protect me and spray my rubber boots with pyrethium tick spray. Since I'm always looking down, I just flick off the ticks that make it up past the spray.

What I like most about the cold is no ticks to worry about. I take advantage of this to venture into brushy and wet areas where ticks could kill you in 35 degree and up weather. I have seen ticks moving in the upper 30's! And no spiderwebs across the face. Or biting deer flies. And lately, the great horned owls have been hooing back and forth. They mate early to give their owlets a jump on spring competition. I answer them and get quite close.

Being as prepared as I am, last week I got poison ivy between the fingers on one hand. I was trying carefully extract a coin out of roots. I carry a good pair of hand pruners and must have cut into a poison ivy root network. I know the plant well enough, but sometimes they sneak a vine up tight against a cedar. And the roots can extend far beyond the vine.

What motivates me is this area was a colonial era farm. I'm gradually squeezing more out it, but they must have even recycled their forged nails. Can't believe someone last week offered to give me their treadmill and stationary bike. With all of this hiking and daytime construction job I had to laugh. That's why I never feel bad about those days of hard work coming home empty-handed. I enjoyed nature and got my exercise.
