Coin purse LOADED with old coins!!

Wow is all I can think of to start this post, just wow! Got out on an evening permission at a 1870s house north of me. The woman told me it's been hit before but I was welcome to give it a go. Finds started out slow and it was obvious it was picked over pretty well but I kept pushing. My first keeper was the 1865 2 center! Pretty rough shape but I'll take it! Found one wheat and then the mercury that I kissed with my shovel. Went along the side of the house and hit the silver Washington! I was pretty happy with the finds at that point and was considering leaving because it was getting late. What happened next was absolutely amazing! Came across a strange signal, it was really scratchy with high and mid tones and it sounded a little large but I figured why not, let's dig it. First popped out an Indian and a piece of leather with 2 coin impressions on it and I was like OMG!!! I knew I had some sort of either change bag, or change purse. I kept plucking v nickel after v nickel, then a barber dime, and some wheats, then a 1900 silver Canadian quarter, and another barber and more Indians and wheats. All in all there was 6 v nickels, 4 Indians, 4 wheats, 2 barber dimes and the Canadian silver quarter! Nothing older than 1900 but by far the most fun I have ever had detecting!! I'm on cloud nine with this hunt!! Thanks for looking and reading the long winded post and happy hunting!

That kind of find is everyone's dream. I had the thrill of find one change purse. It was not as good as yours, but it sure made my day. It was a plastic "little orphan annie" change purse. Two silver roosies, one merc, 5 wheats and two jefferson nickels. I figure it was lost late 50's. I got the same thrill as you, but not the same results. Great story!

What a dream find! Age doesn't matter- they're in fantastic shape from being in the purse and stuck together- every one of us who does this hopes to find one of those, and you were fortunate enough to get that experience- Big Congrats!!
