Got out Friday for three hours. The top 2 inches was frozen in spots but not too bad. The four coins were in the same hole. I found the quarter and put it on top of the dirt and called Joe over. He noticed some more shiny and it turned out to be two war nickels and a key date 1921 d in fair condition (1,080,000). The nickels and Merc were real crusted from being up against each other for 70 years. I don't like to clean coins too much but I had to use electrolysis in order to see the dates. Think I might have used a little too much but I'm not selling them. Silver #'s 50, 51and 52 and 53 FTY if you count war nickels as silver. #48 a Merc was found last week (not shown).

Great finds for a spill!! Real glad you were able to get out. May go out Monday here as they're saying 52 or 56 F for the day. Congrats also on breaking 50 FTY. It's getting harder and harder to accomplish.

Another key date catch. Gonna start calling you the "Key Date Kid". All cleaned up well I should be able to get out next week, I'll let you know.

Good job Gerry. Looks like your good year is ending on a high note. A silver coin spill is a pretty neat trick. Hope the days after Christmas are favorable for a couple of more hunts.

WOW! That is one beautiful spill. Thanks for sharing the digger porn with us.

Gerry, folks call those finds "a Glory Hole", congratulations on that and especially the cool key date mercury. You had a terrific Christmas present!

Nice key date and glory hole find!

Nice find Gerry! I like all the Mercs, but those key dates are special and I'm still looking for one.Those war nickles and Big Silver quarter is super nice too. Good job and good luck.

Nice...we just got some snow overnight only about an inch but posts like that helps to wash the blues away! Next week the permit gets faxed!
