🥇 BANNER Clay Pot with Coins Inside!!!!!

[BVI Hunter]

Back to my pals old property and found had a signal close to this pot.
I had previously picked up lots of surface bottle finds so moved this out of the way to use the pinpointer - but the signal had gone

Looked inside and saw what turned out to be coins!!!!

Will try to clean these up a bit, the soil was packed quite hard inside.

Picture below show the pot (outside and inside) and the coins as found!

With a plant in it in a flower garden, or anywhere with top edge near the surface it would be easy to recover for who ever squirreled it. You know, like the Mrs.,s card playing money...

there ARE some foundation ruins within 50 yds.......

Stunning find, BVI!!! Congrats man.

 

[BVI Hunter]

That will be next weeks post.

Ha!!

I SO wish!!!

 

[BVI Hunter]

Wow thats pretty incredible! Good job!!

What type of coin are they?

hoping to clean up properly and identify!

 

[BVI Hunter]

Holy crap Captain, me thinks you might have found some Spanish Gold! The coins while orangish in color and could be confused to be Copper, don't appear to have any corrosion or green veridigris on them. The encrustation if I am correct, should come off pretty easily with Acetone or possibly something else that someone knows will work. I could be wrong but from the details on the coins, they don't appear to be Spanish Coppers (Maravedis) and appear to be Escudos like in the pic below. Here is hoping for you and if they are Gold, then this is another Banner find for you! Congrats! Please update us as soon as possible on what they are (Gold or Copper or other).

So nice...whoo-hooo!

Stashed some traps in an old hollow tree once, didn't get back there for over ten years - in that time tree blew down and rotted away leaving traps lying almost on the surface. Water can erode the surface too - exposing things that were once buried.
Nice find - look forward to seeing the coins. Hot water dissolves salt faster than cold, if you are worried about salt in the clump. Nuggy

FANTASTIC find. Can't wait to see it all cleaned up. Congratulations!!!

Very interesting find I can't help with the coins but I'm pretty positive the stoneware is a ginger beer or an other booze most likely from Europe. I would date that to mid to late 19th century.

Damn guy that's just too much....!!!!!!! Congrats and another great find. If I ever start digging up old rusty irons at least I know now what's coming next. Get over here and help me with that Golden Horseshoe I'm looking for. Franks search was a bust (it was a bust... right, Frank?)
