Nice Cob! I found my First a couple of weeks ago so I can relate the thrill that you had at finding that pretty piece of silver!!

Wow.......super nice find. You guys that live where you can find these things make me want to move! Your find makes me dislike Ohio even more.

Thanks everyone. And you were right captn SE ,i had to go back and search for the chest...No luck on the chest, but found more junk and a nice tombac button.. I found out what they like to eat Wild hogs

those wooden "treasure" chests have long ago rotted away but being the metal fixtures are there from those boxes their contents might be very close by -- keep on looking -- you might get very happy very quickly -- look for a block squarish item --coins in chest often fuse together in a massive coin "clump" before the chest rots away and of course silver turns black --copper greenish over time -- I think you might be onto sumpin
