I know of one place for sure in Dickenson County where Sol Mullins got his silver. It's on private property.

Re: Silver Coins 1783 & 1786

I agree with lucky13..... I believe most coins that were made where recovered in the following years after swifts trips by crew and or Indians. Mainly would be ore still stockpiled somewhere.. however..Swift does tell of one place where they stored the coined metal that they couldnt take out, and stored for later trips. This was during the last trip in 1769...Swift later returned looking for this hidden wealth, but was unable to relocate the hidden spot. A cave hidden somewhere still yet located could very well tell the truth of the coins being hidden. Not every crew member would have known the location of the cave.
