My best silver day...E.V.E.R... **UPDATE WITH VIDEO**

Re: My best silver day...E.V.E.R...

Absolutely stunning find. I hope our government doesn't get involved and try to take it away from you. You put the effort and work into finding it, I believe it should be yours. What are the odds that some archeologist out there was planning to check that exact spot, or even that general area for what they believe to be historical significance items? I'd say almost zero. I'll never understand why the government thinks the need to own everything. Just doesnt make any danged sense! Heck, they probably wouldn't even display half of it, they'd most likely melt the majority of it down anyway.

Awesome finds man, :)

I doubt he will come to this, but better safe than sorry. We are not talking about a few coins here, we're talking about something that every museum wants to show that you know something of historical importance. Reports can be like some people .... greedy!

I did a satellite search for your ford, and came up with some amazing satellite imagery.
This is the map I found, and something struck me as being rather peculiar!

So I zoomed in, and to my amazement .......................

Re: My best silver day...E.V.E.R...

I could sit here all day looking at your post, by far the most impressive coin cache i've ever seen. What you really need to do is organize and photograph each and every coin, and post it up for everyone to enjoy. And I have to agree with IronPatch, don't get rid of a single coin.
And with that much silver being found, i'd have to wonder if their was a few stray gold coins just waiting to be found. I'd head back there and dig everything that makes a sound!
