Funny how when the frustration with a site is starting to build to breaking point, something will come out of the ground that immediately brightens the morning.

Reaching near the end of my hunt I was close to skunked and had moved form where I was getting nothing behind the goal post to about the sideline mid field where I figured kids would go as it?s shady. Hit on something jumpy ~55-83 which is usually junk/iron but something was different with the sound so I dug it.

I?m usually a silent hunter but when I saw the unmistakable silver sitting on leather and several coins in the hole I uttered an audible and probably loud ?Oh!? Seven coins in total. Highlights are the dime (1964) and a wheat (1940). Youngest coins are 1965 so it was lost probably that year. Too bad the kid was poor, lol. Some quarters would have been nice! I scanned that hole hard but seven was the luckiest I was getting.

I?ve had coin spills and found stacks but I can now notch my first coin pouch off the list.

Congrats on the awesome find!
 

Cool find! Nice to find a spill once in a while. Congratulations.
 

Having a super find like that once in a while is what keeps us going!!

It?s the blessing and the curse because I?ll have to go back to this park at least one or two more times before I feel okay about moving on.

That,s definitely a surprise,huh?Great find for you!

For me the best finds have been the ones I thought was going to be something else and something nice pops out.

Cool find! Nice to find a spill once in a while. Congratulations.

And a spill in a coin pouch is even sweeter. Little runt could have had some bigger change though[emoji23] I must have scanned the e hole with my carrot six or seven times hoping. Not sure what to do with the coin pouch. Toss or keep [emoji848]
 

Wow, way to go Dig. such a cool find in situ........
 

Well that's worth a hardy " Yahoooooo!". Congrats on your nice find!

And that?s practically what my unconscious release of frustration it was in volume too!

Wow, way to go Dig. such a cool find in situ........

That dime being stuck to the leather when it popped open was perfect and I?m getting a kick out of the way the coins imprinted the outside into their shape.
 

Great find. I'd sure like to find a coin purse with some coins in it someday.
 

Great find; something we all hope for! I had the good fortune of finding a leather coin purse earlier this year with silver in it, so I know the excitement you feel. Congrats!

I remember seeing that post in March and it was with that in mind that I kept checking the hole even when it was obvious I had it all, lol. I?d sure like to find an adults coin purse of the age you had found.
