Smashed Quarter, War Nickle and a Rosie.

[Old coin hunter]

Got permission to do a small yard next to the yard at the ROW and found the following. 259 coins consisting of 12 Qtrs, 32 Dimes, 22 Nickles, 102 Zincs, 87 Coppers, 7 Wheats, 1 Canadian Penny, 1 Smashed Qtr. 1 War Nickle and 1 Rosie. The smashed Qtr looks like a Washington as if you look just below the top of the coin at about 1 oclock you can see the rounded part of his head and possibly his partial hair bun and it rang up at 92-93 on the Simplex. I didn't know i had the Nickle or the Rosie until after i tumbled all the Nickles and Dimes and looked through them. Worked the yard for two days and it's only 30x30 ft. so all the hits were kind of hard to deal with but i dug all of them. HH Jim.

That is a lot of coins to come from
such a small area!
Wonder how that quarter got damaged like that.
Can you make out the reeded edge on it?

You Did Good. Congrat's.

Sounds like you need to get back in there and focus on those deep, faint signals, probably some sweet silver hiding in there.
Nice day of detecting.

Yea you can see the ribs on the edge, that's how I knew it was a coin.

next thing you’re going to tell us is that the small yard is about 50’x50’ and you did all that in under two hours.....

I went over some of it after I finished it and didn't find anything so don't know if I'll go back. Jim

I worked on it for two days. So many targets it took a long time to do it right. Got real tired of hearing all those targets. Jim

I bet there is more there,
You mentioned it is very trashy with lots of signals.
I am working a site like that now.
About the same size too.
What I do is detect there for about 3 hours and then go somewhere else and then come back another day when I am fresh.
This method works for me in making more finds.... trying to decipher all those signals gets to me after a while too.

I pretty much dug every signal I got. Jim

Lots of coins for that small space. Good job gleaning it. I might still give it one last one hour shot, but after working it like you did and finding that many coins and only coming coming up with 7 wheats and 3 silvers, I wouldn't be too enamored with spending much more time there myself. Good hunting! HH Jim tn

Oh, don’t worry, it was a dirt yard. If I took a picture of it you wouldn’t believe what it looked like and how much trash and junk is on it.
