Re: Now I am a believer !! There are silver caches out there !! 5 and 3/4 lbs worth!
Maine,
AMAZING fing and a BANNER well deserved. This has got to be one of the best posts I've seen in a long time. Congrats!
You just gave a lot of us hope that there ARE still caches out there to be found. I get excited finding just one Merc or Rosie, but this is off the charts!
Very cool.

Outstanding find man!, now i still have hope of finding my silver cache in Maine!, I think everytime a detectorist goes out, and hunts an old field, foundation or home site its always in the back of their minds! My buddy and I hunt all over Maine just about every weekend that we can get away! Again..Great find!!! Let us know of any key dates!

That is absolutely incredible. That is definitely a banner find for sure. Any stories of treasure/leads in the area that you found this. You may have been the finder of an old legend. That is awesome. I would not be able to sleep for days. I hope you are planning to go over the site again. To find some more would be great.
