Silver pocket spill

[lostlake88]

First silvers of the year and all in one fell swoop. I was pretty stoked to see four come out of the hole accompanied with a glass marble that is not pictured. The coins were found deeper than average at around 6-8" and the were found unexpectedly about three feet from a busy road. I can only imagine what those drivers were thinking when they saw this dude in the rain with a metal detector digging by the road.

Spills are always fun to find , I wish the ground around here was that soft everything is still frozen. Great finds HH

Awesome finds Also looks like it was in some pretty wet soil... Does the wet soil help the signal get to the detector better? Just curious

Some people say the wet soil helps with depth and I agree to a point. My detector tends to null out more and picks up every little piece of rusty iron speck when the soil is as wet as it was yesterday, I was digging alot of iron. When I came up on the pocket spill I was pretty sure it was silver, but I was surprised that dimes kept coming. The dates were 1907 1919, 1918, 1922 no mint marks on them. I think they fell out of a kids pocket because I found a marble too.

Great find lostlake88!
Forty cents would have been a small fortune to a kid back in the 1920's!

Congrats to you!

Thanks for the dates,but I think you made a typo... far as I know the mint didn't make a 1922 dime. also the mint marks are on the back left bottom if there is any..

Great photos of the silver in the wet ground. Really gets my heart pumping! Now if the ground would only thaw out around here so I could get out.
