50 pennies

A pocket spill is when someone is usually sitting down and the coins fall out of the pocket when they lean back etc.
What you found was probably buried by a kid at some time in the past. Very doubtful someone was carrying fifty pennies in their pocket. :thumbup:
 
I'd say that was a huge pocket spill, John.:beers:

You just never know what people had in their pockets...or why.:thumbup:
 
No way to know the circumstances of how or when they were dropped, john.

Anything is possible though so regardless...nice find.:thumbup:
 
rough-housing or horseplay in the yard...or even lost while playing a sport.
Since it was an even number of 50 it might have been some kids stash he had with him and set down while playing and just forgot about it too.
Could have fallen out of a jacket pocket as well...or have been buried. The possibilities are endless...but it definitely could have been a spill:clapping:
 
Over here on the beaches the tides move stuff about and sorts it.
I was checking one spot and spent the next 2 hours working the hole in the rocks which was not very large, after all the checking and counting I ended up with 158 coins and some fishing weights,
in another area I have now found over 850 large fishing weights that can wash into a small area in the rock gullies but cannot wash back out again.
Have not done much land detecting but hope to get onto some good land soon.
 
If they were all in one hole, that many would be a cache! Spills can be in an area as large as a dinner plate, Stacks have to be stacked of course, not to be confused with multidenom slanted stacks or spills...since yours are all the same denom in one hole, and theres over 20, its a Cache! I just made all of this up! :rofl: Nice and strange find!:clapping:
