Oddest hunt for me EVER.....10 silver!

[Goes4ever]

had the weirdest hunt ever tonite, hunted an old house and got a token and a wheat in the front, not much else and wandered around back to check around the clothes line. First signal was kinda bouncing around but dug it and it was 3-4 coins fused together, and one hole after another I continued to find coins that were either fused together or melted. Obviously there was some sort of fire, I will prob put them all in a tumbler because a lot of them I can’t tell what they are. Got several wheats that are recognizable, several buffalo nickels, barber dimes,Washington quarter, half of a barber quarter lol, several melted silver dimes.....over 40 coins and all are old lol. Looks like 10 silvers total. My buddy came back there and dug another dozen or so after I was already back there an hour. Everything was all within a 8x8 foot area....strange!!!! Gonna throw them in tumbler tomorrow to see what all the coppers and nickels are.

Trash burn pit, that somebody absentmindedly tossed the wrong box on.

Wow!! Great Finds....The curled up 1916 Merc would get me going...Not even gonna ask if you looked for a mint mark..I would be scared too..lol

 

[sideshowbob]

Oh my golly a '16. Saw the the thread before... I'm gonna ask! Can you see a melted blob of a mint mark? I feel like so sad for those beauties, but stoked for you! Great recoveries!!

Yep, someone was burning garbage and mistakenly tossed an old change purse in it.

 

[UnderMiner]

Imagine finding the "d" and then seeing the coin is just a blob. Wonder if someone would still want to buy it.

Show the token! Show the token!

Sweet hunt GFE...

 

[treblehunter]

That had to be exciting, even if they are melted, I bet if you zap them, they would come apart. One minute at a time, bet the first minute will free them.
Great finds!
