Wallhangers said:I encourage everyone to show their finds, it's great to see. My only worry with a batch of coins like that is some of the rumors I have heard about lost treasure. Some have said that a cache of treasure like that, being over 100 years old, technically belongs to the US Gov. I have only heard bits and pieces of info. like that, maybe someone here can educate me a little more on it. I'm still drooling all over my keyboard and can't imagine your feeling as you kept digging them up.

Dr. Jacob Houck was born in Frederick, Maryland, and moved to Baltimore in 1828. In 1834 he began selling Houck's Panacea; it is believed that the counterstamp emanated from the 1836-1837 Hard Times period. He was a prolific counterstamper, using whatever coin was available to promote his product.
Just some quick info i found.
Great finds.............
