I went back to finish up the last part of the giant coin spill today. In 2 hours I cleaned up the last 3x4 foot area of the spill. I call it a spill, but it could also be considered a dump. I am pretty sure with all the sawdust I am finding, even a few piles of fresh sawdust on the surface, that this is the result of a kiddie pool sawdust party game. You fill the pool with saw dust and sprinkle in coins for the kiddies to search for and keep. When I was done I always sifted the sawdust to get the missed coins before I threw out the dust. But whoever did this game, just dumped the dust because the place was loaded with coins. As before, I just pinpointed and troweled my way along swingin the CZ21 over the areas I was done to get any coins missed in my search (when you dig out a pile of dirt sometimes it has multiple coins in it and I missed a few searching the piles, when I used the detector I caught the misses).
Today I found 214 coins in 2 hours with a face value of $6.73 which makes a grand total of 573 coins in 5 hours, total value $21.24 searching a 3x10 foot area. That is 114 coins per hour, what a spill! Among today’s coins I did find 3 euro coins, a 1, a 2 and a 5 euro cent as well as a 1941 wheatie. I also found an aluminum grommet, 3 nails and a piece of can slaw.
After I finished the spill I still had an hour left so I continued on detecting along the fence line for another hour and managed to find an addition 34 coins with a face value of $2.58. I also found an aluminum tag with the number 89(or 68 if you turn it over). I also found some pieces of fence tie wire. It is made of aluminum and gives enough of a good signal, you have to dig it to be sure if it is good or not (at least I can recycle it). I almost always find some when detecting close to chain link fences.
Again nothing fancy, but a lot of gas money and good old social distancing exercise for the old man. Pennsylvania and Maryland have loosened up their restrictions so I am off to the scout camp tomorrow to clean up more camping areas. Thanks for looking, stay safe and may your coil lead you to good things.
