My largest silver and wheat spill !!!

[pescadore]

Went on an after work hunt this afternoon and went to a new area from my usual park hunt. I dug some clad and then got a nice high tone on my new Minelab X-terra 705. I got a ID# or 40 solid but when I wiggled I got mixed signals. I was pretty sure that I had a coin spill but it was my first with the X-terra so I wasn't sure. I dug down about 4 inches and when I turned over the flap I could see the beautiful shiny edge of silver. I uncovered a 1944 Mercury Dime and that's when the fun started. I looked in the flap and there was a couple more coins. One was a 1957 Foreign coin from India and the other one was a wheat. I used the TRX in the hole and there were more signals. I widened the flap and dug another wheat then another and so on. I ended up digging a total of 16 wheats, a no date Buffalo Nickel, and a little 1964 25 cent Belgium coin. All of these coins were in about an 18 inch circle. The spill is on the left side of the photo and the clad and costume jewelry earring is on the right. Fun afternoon hunt and the best part is that there is a lot more area to hunt.

You do not find old coin spills very often but it's sure fun when you do....

That is a promising area you have to hunt. Well done on the merc and wheats....Congrats!!!
I'm betting you have more interesting finds coming from there on future hunts. GL
