Hey guys,
I have an old farm site that I have found 1930's silver quarters at, but I am puzzled by the fact that I have found several mason jars buried, with the lids on them, about 2-3 feet down. They are empty, and I just don't understand why they are there. They are always upright, and were buried in different areas. The first one(and second, third.etc) I found excited me to no end, until I found it was empty. I know that this was a depression era farm, and that most likely the farmers didn't trust the banks, so I figured that they may have buried some coin here... But why do I keep finding empty jars? Someone told me that they used to bury moonshine to preserve it, but I wanted to see if you guys had any thoughts. thanks
James
