Just had to share this photograph I came across, Back in the 50's Binions Horseshoe Casino had some great game winning prizes. This supposedly is half a million in silver dollars, would of been a sight to see!!!

At today's price of silver that would be well over 11 Millions dollars, it would be nice to find a couple of those stacks of coins today with my detector!!!

It can't be. 500,000 silver dollars would weigh over 31,000 pounds (Av not troy). That's the weight of an entire semi truck with trailer. That table can't support anything close to that weight.
