I had a fun hour and half hunt this evening before dark. I didn’t get as old of finds as I was hoping for but it was nice to hear a good old coin spill signal again. It’s been awhile and most of the fun is seeing how many coins will keep popping out. This spill had 7 coins in it. Five large cents, a single nickel and a single silver dime. The breakdown was a 1918 Canadian large cent, a 1919 Canadian large cent, a 1909 Canadian large cent, a 1904 Newfoundland large cent, a 1919 Canadian large cent, a 1929 Canadian nickel and a 1921 Canadian dime. It’s funny that it proves again that even though small cents were well into circulation how much those large cents were still being used and also how much the Newfoundland coinage was still floating around in circulation. Also during the hunt I found some other odds and ends plus three other coins along the way. A blank disc, another 1918 Canadian large cent and a 1920 Canadian large cent. The winner of the night has to be the 1904 Newfoundland one cent from the spill. It was only made for three years and 1904 is the key date with only a 100,000 mintage. Thanks for looking!

I was wondering the same thing. Almost like a salt shaker lid but has four holes on each side. Strange for sure and I was hoping someone would spit it and know on here! [emoji16]
 

Great find..are you going to clean them up?
 

Awesome! Coin spills are tricky to dig sometimes. They don’t always sound like a signal you’d want to be digging...!

I found a coin spill, very similar, 15 Canadian coins, and a shield nickel.

Maybe take some better pics of the piece and post it in the 'What is it' forum Kevin. :thumbsup:
 

WoW...!
That was an AWESOME score...! :icon_thumright:
Hundred year-old coins, plus a RARE one...!
 

Nice spill retrieval. I don't know if it's just me, but i always think to myself on a find like that, "a couple of the cent coins could been halves or quarters at least...." Then I always tell myself to quit being so damn greedy...

Grats and thanks for sharing.

A dozen silvers in one hole. Nice, CoinFetcher!

I didn’t want to say it originally myself to sound greedy but yes I totally agree with you. [emoji23]

Wow that’s a super nice one you found. I bet you were pumped and nothing better when they keep coming and coming and you never know when they are going to end. This happens to be my 4th post worthy old coin spill! [emoji16][emoji106]
 

What a great spill recovery! Congratulations! Nice bunch of coins! Thanks for sharing.
