1 hole = 26 silver coins

[K1DDO1979]

I went to a a spot that I had luck before with some Canadian large cents,silver ring and a 1918 Canadian ten cent. I could tell it was a field in the past but had trees now but was still detectable in most spots. I went close to a bigger tree trunk and got a good hit and pulled out a newfoundland five cent and was very happy because that was my first silver five cent ever. I checked my hole again and got another hit and found two more. Then did the same again and again until it got quiet. In the end I got a total of 26 silver five cent pieces.
24 newfoundland five cent & 2 Canadian five cent
I think whoever buried them was doing it for the silver because they were mostly all from the 1940's and canada was using nickel for five cents and it was around the time of wwii. I think they were in a little wood box that long rotted away because the only thing with the coins was a rusted little latch.

Here's a crappy picture of the list I made when I was first seeing what I had. There is one missing from the list so it may only total 25 coins.

Here is the 1918 ten cent I found about 30 feet from the 26 five cents. It's in nice shape I think. (:
I added one of my 1916 ten cents pictures by accident so just ignore that! Haha

Hi. The new members are killing it this winter. That's the second silver hoard/cache since xmas. Well done. Reckon that would be a banner find but I think you have to be a member a while to get that. Congratulations!

Looking forward to seeing it! For those who don't know, Newfoundland coins were last minted in 1947. Whenever I find one, I wonder about the days when Newfoundland was a self-governing country. About 65% of pre 1950 coins I find are Newfoundland, and the other 35% being Canadian, American/British, French and Spanish. Newfoundland also had $2 gold coins which were minted between 1865-1888. They are very rare! But that haul is stunning! Great Job!
