My Large cents cache

[Dirt-Fisher]

I returned to the site I found 3 wiskey bottles buried early last December but, I wanted to share ......

Being familiar with the area I hurried in to the coordinates displayed on the GPS. This was going to be a short hunt because snow was to come in early morning to the quiet woods, interrupting any further plans to search the area. I had decided to search around the edges of the small hill on the outskirts of the spot of the six large cents. I quickly received a signal that indicated a coin approximately 5-7 inches deep. I hurriedly dug the signal and found a large cent. Placing it in my pocket I swung the SE over the removed soil from the hole. Beep! Another signal… another large cent! I removed one after another large cent from the hill side. Sometimes as many as four at a time! I placed them deep into my pocket and returned for more. Once I was satisfied that the hole was not producing any more I moved around the hill side until I received another high pitched signal digging this signal revealed more large cents several with each handful of dirt!

The snow was starting and I filled my holes and returned to the car. Once home I asked my wife to open her hands and close her eyes. I placed 3 handfuls of large cents in her out stretched hands. The large cents dated between 1842 and 1852. 34 large cents, a bank of Upper Canada ½ penny token, and a Bank of Nova Scotia ½ penny token!!

Now that was a good day Dirt-Fishing!

Just curious, have you been back? Perhaps that was only one cache or spill.

Nice find! That is the most I have heard of found in one outing. A guy I worked with found 18 large cents in an old swimming hole on the very first day he started detecting. Every one of them were holed.

I went back and picked a couple more up.
I also found 3 quarts of whiskey buried nearby.
An interesting fellow that buried his money and his boose. It was to big to be a spill.

Excellent. Congratulations.

Was the whiskey in bottles , jars or what? Was it commercial liquor or shine? Sometimes a bottle of ancient booze can be worth as much as the coins! Monty
