I am still in shock. Never would I believe something like this would happen to me. Did a late evening hunt with a friend from Tnet which only lasted about 45 min. As you can see I only found a mini ball and flat button until I came upon this cache. We both were speechless, good thing she decided to video tonights dig. This is the second cache of coins found on this property mixed in with all the civil war relics. First spill was nothing like this, maybe 10 coins. So walking along the woods edge of a corn field I got this ear blowing signal, pinpointed about 3 ft long but narrow I almost skipped it. At a park with the signal that large I surely would have ignored it. Ended up with a cut finger and 64 silver coins. 1 Morgan dollar, 8 Reale, 12 Halfs, 11 Quarters and 39 dimes. I havnt checked for any key dates and most look to be in good shape. I'm amazed over this 8 Reale, looks to be 1830 Zs. Checked off the bucket list:headbang: Like I said Ive heard stories of people finding caches but never dreamed my coil would get over one. Thanks for looking GL&HH

Wowzer ! Post up that vid she took. Congratulations.
 

Odd ball cache to say the least. Interesting wear patterns for the dates. Both 1945 halves, when it comes to circulation, have about two years light wear or one year medium wear. That and other things makes me thing this cache was buried after 1945(1946 or 1947). Another observation is, where are the nickels? If this was "just a silver" cache than there should be war nickels. The seated dime has an incredible amount of wear, but i don't think in that condition, it would of still been in circulation in the 1940's(most would think it was a slug). No recessed date standing liberty's and no 30's or 40's Washingtons. Makes me think either this was a kids collection, or, someone(in recent years) might have buried it as conditions of most coins are just above face value.
 

Phenom find.

Looks like a banner to me.

Congrats and well done.
 

Unreal! Amazing find. We've all heard the stories of money buried, my grandmother hid caches of money in her home in Baltimore half a century ago, after she died I think they found it all, but in the GROUND! Way to go! Banner for sure. Wonder if there is more there?
 

Geez, what's left on your bucket list? I think mine is done.
