I found the good stuff

That's the kind of find I dream of whenever I hit an old home site; congratulations on a great discovery. Are any of the SLQ's Type I?
 

Thanks everyone.

I still cant really believe it. I have read about finds like this but never thought I would find anything like it. Makes me really look at different potential locations in a whole different light and also to just really slow down. I have a habit of just trying to cover a bunch of area rather then just really covering a smaller area really good. When most of my good finds have come when I really slow down and concentrate on listening to each target.

After doing some more research about the site it looks like the conditions had lined up just right. A few others had hit the lot already but the problem with the lot is there is a lot of pipes running right under the ground among tones of other trash. The cache sounded a lot like the pipes except for it being a smaller target signal.

I havent had a chance to go back yet, family duties have kept me at home. A few of my detecting buddies have went back though and made a few more really nice finds. I believe what happened was that when the lot was scraped the very top of the cache was spread around a 50 foot area. One of my buddies found three additional walker halfs while another found 2 additional morgan dollars. Hopefully they will post when they get it a chance, if not you can check out their finds on the Cali forum Kinzlicoils.com (shameless plug :) )

Thanks again and hope you are able to get out and find your self some of the good stuff
 

im no coin collector but i have had luck soaking some coins i found in a farmfield with vinegar. but with a cache like this you should consult a professional. TOTALLY AWESOME. as on tneter replied about having an ORGANISM I WISH HIM/HER LUCK :laughing7: :laughing7: :laughing7:

Congratulations on finding and posting a truly DUG cache! Not one of the fake caches that all too often appear on this forum. You know the ones - where they put fresh dirt or mud on the coins, or the coins are in shiny and bright pristine collector condition. That's what a cache of dug coins should look like. Again, let me congratulate you on a truly rare cache find! Way to go!

Very well said Bookfisher.......I'm more than just a little tired of my numismatic and metal detecting intelligence being insulted by fake "caches"

HH all!

Great stuff. Think I would leave them as is and not clean them up to much with the pics and being able to see where the marks are from the other coins makes it a cool collection. Better than a bunch of shined up coins to me.
