Got into the woods here in White Plains, looking for an old school house from the 1905 - 1920 era, that was supposed to have been built on top of an older school from the 1800s. I had been out for about an hour before it started raining a bit of ice/sleet, when I got a deep bouncing 34, 36, 37, in Artifact mode. Honestly I almost didn't dig it because I guessed it was big, deep, iron, but I was getting ready to call it a day and hadn't filmed a dig yet. Glad I Dug It! I made an appointment to see a coin guy in Greenwich, tomorrow so I can get them appraised. I am super stoked!!!!:headbang::hello2:

That's what I'm talkin about. Really incredible find. It's a find of a life time really. Congratulations :icon_thumright:
 

Wowzer! Just the 1893-O is a astounding find.

Congratulations!
 

Congratulations. Just clicked in after work and saw it sitting on top. Way to go!
 

The find of a lifetime for sure! Congratulations!
 

I live in Ohio and i HEARD him SCREAM all the way over here :) LOL Congrats buddy
 

Thanks for sharing the Great Video on a Banner Find. It look's like a few that you showed had a ( D ) Mint mark on the reverse or possible an ( O ) mint mark. Can you post some dates on the Morgan Dollar soon. goldnugget
 

I'm sitting in my office, sipping on a 25-year-old Macallan Whisky, and twirling a coin in my fingers that was minted in New Orleans, 125-years ago. I'm reading all of your remarks, and feeling more fortunate by the minute to be part of the Treasurenet Family. Thank you all again for your great words of congratulations. It makes me feel so good! I hope every one of you will catch a dream find among the rusted nails and pulltabs! Now, maybe one of us will hit the Powerball!:occasion14:

No Denver mints. A couple San Francisco, but mostly New Orleans and Philadelphia. :icon_thumright:
 

Anyone whose been fortunate enough to have stumbled upon one of these once in a lifetime finds knows the excitement you were and are still feeling- nothing like it :hello2:. I've been at it 30 years, never found one silver dollar- you nab 26 at once! Stupendous, miraculous and any other adjective you want to throw in there- CONGRAT$$!!
 

I am going to mention this because the number of coins is 26. This means that if a person stuck away a coin every time they got paid(every two weeks if that’s how it was even back then), it could mean that this is just one cache of others planted around. Take a REALLY good look in that place Terry. It’s just an idea based on the weird yet somewhat significant number...26 weeks being a year worth of saving.

Yeah, a dollar was worth much more back then...and, Silver Still Talks, you know Terry,...!
You Rescued those pretty Ladies...! Whatta guy...! :icon_thumright:
 

Congratulations really amazing find! Love your reaction too! That's what the hobby is all about, that thrilling moment when you find something amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
 

Wow amazing find and great you captured it on video. I still get excited finding a silver dime, so not sure how crazy it would feel to find something like that (hopefully someday I'll know).

Congrats on the find and banner. Gotta wonder what happened to whoever cached it, could have put there and went off to WW1 and never got back?

Like others mentioned maybe there are few more caches in the area.
 

Great to see this Terry. You surely got a one of a kind kinda day :)
 

Congrats Terry. Unbelievable find.
 

Terry...good job...you still shaking ?:)
