The reading was 82, I put the detector down and removed a shovel load of dirt and it had 8-10 silver coins in it. That's when I just started digging with my hand and the scoop. Most of he silver was stuck together. It took awhile to get every coin.

Amazing. My heart would stop. Finding one silver coin in a hole makes your heart race...I just couldn't imagine if you just kept digging more and more out. Outstanding!!

Congratulations, and thank you for posting a truly DUG cache! Not like some of the "caches" posted in the past where all the coins are in shiny and bright condition, and only an idiot would think they came out of the ground! Again, congrats to you for finding a cache - one of the Holy Grails of metal detecting! Banner!
