94 Indians In The River

[fossis]

While taking pic's & looking for arrowheads yesterday, I was walking in a dry section of a local river, I saw this metal object & gave it a nudge with my boot, it was a tin can, the lid came off & it was (full to the brim with coins).
after collecting my wits about me, I started taking pic's, & hurried home to clean them.
The whole can was full of rust , & coins were even sticking together, so by noon the next day, (today), I finished cleaning them the best I can for now, they had been in a tobacco sack with a drawstring, in the can.
Totals were.............1 peace dollar
1 Silver coin from the Netherlands
4 walking liberty halves
10 mercury dimes
13 V nickels
1 Barber half dollar
2 Barber quarters
1 flying eagle quarter
94 Indian head pennies (oldest 1864)
9 buffalo nickels
4 recent nickels
15 foreign coins (nothing very good)
20 wheat pennies ( 30's, 40's, 1 shot with a bullet)
1 token (Good For 5 cents in trade), slick on the back
1 sheild nickel 1836 (the best I can tell)

Not a 'bad haul' for me. :P

Awesome, that's one heck of a cache! Ya, I'd bet it was a stolen collection that got tossed too.

Thanks, I think it would be too heavy to float, even a little, so That's my best guess also.

Great find! Any history of massive flooding on that river? Could have been swept downriver from a destroyed house or washed out from someone's buried cache. Wouldn't be hard for a lot of water to push it along the bottom for miles (like all those rocks. )

Thanks, the rivers in this country all have large floods, so it is possible.
