Hello everyone, So my metal detecting buddy Carlos did it again. He went out this past Sunday morning and found himself US Silver coin #4 for 2025 .. I'm still at ZERO It's a 1951 Silver Washington Quarter Then, just a few minutes later he detected a bucket list coin! He got himself a.. 1797 Draped Bust Large Cent I went to see him today at his job to take some better pictures than the ones he sent to me. Slightly tilted shot It is not in the best condition especially on the reverse side but just to find a largie is still spectacular! He also found an 8 Wheat Cent spill in the same hole (Different area, not the same hole where he found the Large Cent). Here's all his finds.
WOW, I bet that gets the heart pumping when you have a find like that! Congrats to Carlos on his bucket list find!
Wait now .......... he found eight wheat cents in the same hole? Were the coins at different depths? I'm just wondering how coins minted over a hundred years apart are in the same hole.
They are generally pocket spills. Imagine a pocket full of change , you are laying on the ground, maybe pre-occupied and they all fall out simultaneously. I have found a few such accumulations but on a beach. Alternatively some one drops a cloth bag of coins in tall grass or crop and they get grown over or ploughed in.
