Nightstalker,

I have read your post many times.
Even after a couple of years I still like to read it.

If your money ever runs out you could always become a writer.
Though I know how the story ends I still worry someone is going to walk up on you in the woods before you get out of there with your treasure.

What an adventure and great story.

Thanks for sharing,
Buddy~

Thanks guys for all the nice replies to my two year old post! I'm still in sunny Florida, I often think back to the morning I found that cache and wish I could re-do things. Overall though, my hobby finally freed us from rural Kentucky and gave us a super jump start on a new life down south. I still have the vette I purchased with some of the "find" money and a few other toys, but IF I could do things over again, I'd definitely be in no hurry to turn it into hard cash.

Well this was truly a life time find one we all hope for. I read all these current post and while I have share the same feelings all have posted, I just kept waiting for someone to bring this up.I saw only one post in this threat that said he split it with the land owner. I saw no post to that in any of NH post?
While we all do it (hunt without permission) at some point! Everyone here was behind him on his find and how he got away without being caught, ME TOO! I want to get away if I find treasure this big! But if you get away with it why tell anyone who owns the property and the loot you found? You have already broke every rule and have something that's not yours. And have got away.Telling after the fact while its the right thing to do. Could result in an arrest and loss of all your find. I must have missed something before I read this whole post?
I have learned a lot through this thread and the Treasure net during the last year.(I only just started posting) I do have 30years of detecting, so I am not a newbie, but I have dreamed of such finds.
I am very happy for you and anyone else that has success in the future. And I hope to beable to make a post like NH someday.

Many years ago I use to live at Golden Rule Farm in Northfield, NH and went to public school in Tilton. Many large treasures are in NH.
I live in Connecticut and looking for good leads.

Surely there are still some coins kept, as personal token if nothing else. Some recent photos of each type of these(gold, silver, etc.) should be easy to present here.

So what you don't have the pile of coins pics from the HDD. Show the samples. It's hard to imagine IMO that ALL of the cache has been sold away. martin

All my good People
The best way to sell coins is through coin auctions such as Stack's..... www.stacks.com
Best of luck. I was a coin collector and a treasure hunter since 1964. Best of luck to you. I am still looking for true unpublish stories on Connecticut bury treasures. [email protected] Thank you.
