I know Uncle Willy says, "NO!!!" but I still call it a coin spill!

It was a first for me. Two silver coins from the same hole stuck together!!!!! I was getting a half dollar signal, size B, six inches. I immediately thought silver coin. Believe me I looked for hard more including digging out a lot more dirt and using All Metal mode. My first spill of silver coins. 1944S and 1950 dimes. That is if you call two coins a spill which I do! Another first for me was the machine flattened penny (Bronx Zoo.) I got two junk pendants that might belong together. Key to my heart? No lock to be found. Also two identical keys. I think they must be from the key club at this school. There were found a long way apart. One broke in my pocket Three rifle shells two 30-06 and one 44. What in the world would you hunt with that? Bear? Some bullets. Tons of clad

I hunted one small bark chip area to start and then before I left swapped coils to the 4.5 inch scorcher. I found 23 coins and one of the keys all within inches of metal poles.

Great day. Hope yours was equally successful!

Looks like some great finds. Silver is always nice.

Since you found them you can call them whatever you wish. I'm surprised they read that high on the scale. I've found several quarters stuck together and they always read as fifty cents. Nice coins anyway.

They were 7 inches deep and perfectly level with the ground stuck head of Roosevelt to tail of Mercury. Registered as a low half (10) to start and the more dirt I took out of the hole the lower they registered (ending on 9.) Never wavered off size B which was a great indicator. I have dug about 10 silver coins this week and I am finally getting a handle on how deeper silver rings up. I called this one before I dug but I initially figured it was a silver quarter. A few weeks ago I dug a 1953 dime that registered as a penny at 3 inches. It was tilted almost 90 degrees. My very deep 1944 half dollar rang up as a quarter but size C. It was 8-10 inches down. In fact, many coins below 6 inches give false size information, usually indicating size C.

I have said this before and I'll say it again. My favorite signal is a very strong repeating half dollar signal,10-10.5, size B or C at a depth of less than 6 inches. I have found that this combination of signals is almost always something good or unusual.

I was only ribbing you because you said my 2 wheats stuck together were technically not a spill. Don't feel bad. If it was three dimes, I would have called it a cache!

That's some nice stuff, the dimes are great! Way to go!

I'd call that a heck of a spill. 2 silvers in one hole is great.
