Default Railroad bridge produces again!!!

Hi guys, well the old rail road/wagon bridge produced again... this time I spent about 3 hours along the outskirts of the area and found nothing much...
I wanted to take new pics of the pillars again to give you guys a better view of them, it was a beautiful day sunny 65 degrees, well I decided to go home and as I was walking along a path... I got a signal 79 VDI on my DFX 6.5 in down dug and I found another compact just like the one that had the gold coin the last time sealed perfect and was heavy... boy did my heart start racing so I wanted to get home faster to open it up and instead of going along the path I went straight up the hill as I'm about half way up I get a pretty good signal....yeah baby !!!!
in a single line about 5 ft. long were these coins!!!!! yippy!!!!!!!
1) holed 3 center no date
2) holed 1840 half dime
3) holed 1853 Arrows half dime
4) holed 1857 half dime
5) holed 1857 half dime
6) beat to hell flying eagle cent!! No date
7) ND shield nickel
ND shield nickel
9) 187? shiled nickel
I thought I was going home empty handed... well I got home we opened up the compact ;( no coin or coins.

Hey JD,
I'm typing with wet fingers from the drool on my keys! Keep it up!
The best I've ever done was two OLD coins in one day (1837 Half Dime & 1842-O Dime).

Show Us More......Getting Me Ready For A Two Day Dig!
Thanks For Showing Us,
Continued Good Luck, HH, Roger

heres a little history about the spot.

I love it, we were walking with the dog last spring and stumbled acrossed it in the middle of nowhere its awsome.... its not even on any topo... took a bit to figure out what it was..
Originally it was part of the Osage/booneslick wagon trail... then in 1866 just after the War the Chicago/Alton RR built a line that was used until 1927 when it was dismantled and forgotten about on top of the hill was the small town and whistle stop called "Hybernia Station" all thats left is in the ground now sometimes she's generous other times she's a biotch!!! hh all
