Tuberale said:Concrete would be unnecessary for a post hole, unless it is a recently constructed one. The coins you describe could be from a later coin collector's cache, and a concrete post would be both distinctive and attract attention to anyone search the property.
Others have mentioned fake posts used in the fence line. Quite possible. The corner post usually had a brace post on either side of it, which gave greater support to that all important fence line. Many property locations are still determined by those corner posts, so every attempt would be made to make certain they stayed in place. The brace post would also be important. But other posts on the fence line would be structurally less important, and therefore more likely to conceal a cache.
it is the only one in the yard in the middle of nowhere and appears to be a very old hole so far i have measured down to 24 inches of what i cleaned and found iron spikes on the sides with old rope fragment on them , when i run my coil over the hole it screams but on out side peremeter of said hole
