May 12, 2013: 8 IHCs - 6 were in one hole! Two silver dimes too

[testing123]

Managed to sneak away from my mom's house for a couple hours of detecting. Went back to a park that's yielded some good stuff previously, and been pounding it pretty hard. Things are slowing down, but she still has a few things hidden.

About 10 minutes in a 1941-S merc shows up. A little bit later got a deeper signal, either a pull tab or something else. Pulled out an IHC! Then got another signal in the hole, another IHC! Then the pinpointer signaled more.... more IHCs! Turns out there were 6 in one hole. Was hoping a seated dime would pop out too, but still a neat find. First coin I checked was an 1...8...7...6. So close! The dates in the spill are: 1888, 1889, dateless, 1881, 1889, 1876. Got two additional in other areas - 1864 (not a fatty), and 1909.

Also squeaked out a dateless buffalo. Towards the end of the hunt, a nice 1904 Barber dime pops out. Seems like every hole had some nails in it. Probably why this hasn't been found before. Also got a gold-tone "knot" ring. Also finally found a quarter too (clad)!

5 Wheats too.

HH and Happy Mother's Day all!

Thanks! It's actually a button - I guess a two-piece. The flower part is one piece, and the other part with the shank is the second piece. Not sure of age... doesn't look too old, but it's one of the cooler buttons to pop out this year for me.
