Hi ya,, Bookfisher,,, I thought everyone had seen my post about the cache but, you only having 59 post, it was probabaly made before you got here... Here a link to my Cache Page:
Leon's Cache Find...
The story and the dates for the coins are all listed there...
It was a once in a lifetime find for me and I think it would be very hard for me to top...
Again,, that is an awesome find, I can only hope to find something like that someday...
Good luck, & Happy hunting~

Hey Leon,

Now, I do remember reading your post. That really was one cool find. I used to dig antique bottles, and you would come across those old milk glass cold creme jars, but none I found ever had any coins in it. Terrific find and one you'll always remember.

Wow - Amazing find and story! I'm so jealous!!!! I agree with the poster earlier, check out to see what was going on in that area back in the day. And I'd definitely go back there again before they start building houses.

Man, A Gold Coin, Awesome - good for yoU!!! I've been detecting for over a year and have yet to find even a silver - you're story inspires me to keep on looking though!

Me and my hunting buddy are going back today. Seek out old areas and farm fields where they have been farming for over a hundred years and you'll find the silver.

Wow great story,,,, but even better coin. I wish you all the best for your future finds.

God bless

Dave,

Thanks very much for the accolades. Good old corroded silver what a guy.

 

[treasurekidd]

That is one truly awesome find bookfisher! Time to give the treasure mags a ring and let them write it up for you! Congradulations on a magnificent find, and wonderful coin!! HH!

 

[slow sweeper]

I still smile when I think about our battle with corroded silver. But seriously, that is an unbelievable find. Might be hard to top that one. Definately contact Western and Eastern Treasures if you have not done so already.
Bill, my hats off to you. Congratulations.

 

[Mona Lisa]

Bookfisher....you made my day with that find.

Thanks for the great story, too. That's inspiration for all of us to keep on looking!
