Awesome Job, great cache !! :icon_thumleft: :headbang:

I see some of you are comparing this to another post. :dontknow: As far as coins looking a certain way coming from the ground is Absurd. :tongue3: I have dug all kinds of silver and none silver coins. :icon_thumleft: They come out of the ground all different. :icon_scratch: Some of them just a rinse with warm water returns them to a nice luster. :hello2: Silver coins especially because they don't rust or corrode. Then if you add a container and coins touching each other also reduces the chance of Environmental Damage. :icon_thumleft: Presuming someones finds are not real because of how they look from being in the ground is not only UNFAIR but its against the site rules. ???

Congratulations on a cache "substantial" enough to make banner. :notworthy: :hello2:

Keep @ it and HH !! :D ;D

Glad those construction workers were on your site and you spotted this place. My heart would have been jumpimg out of my chest. That is such a cool find. All that silver and not knowing when it was going to end. Did the other guys find stuff off of your hole or was it just in the lot?
Very nice silver cache and great pictures it sure looks good on the banner :thumbsup:

I love when things like this happen. Had the construction workers not been working where you had planned to hunt, you probably would have never stumbled across this once in a lifetime find. Congrats on the banner as you certainly deserve it!. :icon_thumleft:
