Busted piggy bank

[gilfordberry]

Using the V3i to snap up a few clad coins next to a local swap meet yesterday. Got a signal that overloaded the detector - thought somebody has buried a hub cap here I guess - so raised the machine up until I was able to get an ID signal - penny! So, I began digging. At about an inch deep, uncovered five or six pennies together. Checked the hole with my pinpointer and still had a target. To make a long story short, I just kept digging more and more pennies out of that hole. Finally count was 183. When I stood up and checked the hole with the V3i, it clearly read yet more pennies. By that time, though, I thought I'd better move on to find a horde of quarters. lol. Final clad count for that outing was a little over $14 - with $2 of it in pennies. While I was having fun, my wife (hunting partner) unearthed a nice gold-plated 925 bracelet as well as one of those shell necklaces tourists bring back from Honolulu. Wonder how that got there?

Fun finds! So what would you call it....A Piggy, Plated and Pooka hunt?

Don't know what you'd call it, but my back said it was a stupid endeavor. lol.

I had the same find around 5 days ago. It was as if someone set down three rolls of pennies and walked away from them. They where anywhere from 1"-5" down and all within 4ft of each other.

I'd call it a good day good detecting. Rob
