wow wow wow... jewelry cashe

[sweetrelease]

went out yesterday to hunt the place that has been giving up some good finds lately. was swinging for about an hour when I decided to hit a corner of the field I haven't hit yet. I got a funny signal ,it went from 45 to 85 back and forth over and over again. I walked away but went back to see what it was.. it read 10+ inches but I hit glass around a foot or so. out popped a glass jar full of jewlery I was like "you have to be kidding me!! I swung the at pro over the hole again and boom 45 to 85 again so I dig alittle more and holy crap a metal box :-o .. I get it out and open it up and it is full of mud,buuuuut I started to clean it out and boom jewelry starts falling out.. at this point im shaking so bad I didn't know what to do. I dug by had very slowly and hope I got it all out. after getting it home and cleaning I saw that it was mostly costume jewelry but there was some 14kt and a bunch of silver and even silver spoons .. my question is why would someone bury mostly costume jewelry ? anyway it was I dig I will never forget ,I'm still not real sure what I have as I only cleaned about half of it. id say there is maybe 100 to 125 pieces in all... PICS ARE A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN IN POST...

Great Story and welcome to the club - not many people get to find a cache!!!! Do you have any Pics? Would love to see the finds and what they buried it in, interesting to study up on what time period the cache is from.

[pkb]

[sweetrelease]

im uploading the pics but they aren't going into my post

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Awesome! That's one you won't forget!

I'm guessing either someone buried it for safe keeping and never recovered it or its's a hot cache, depending how long it's been buried and the age of the of the jewelry, may give you a little insight. Rare find tho, congrats!

I'm able to upload with no issue. What are you using, pc , tablet, smartphone?

Not trying to be controversial...

A story without pics is just that. I feel your pain with the pictures not posting. I hope you figure it out. I am intrigued.

It's good that you followed your intuition about that area of the field.
That's an awesome find.

I may be stating the obvious and sorry if I am but when I upload photos it shows them uploaded but I have to touch/click on the uploaded icon again and it gives me the option to apply the photo to thread. Could it be your not applying that final step. I use a smart phone only. Hope this helps

Wow- amazing. Congratulations. Any chance of pictures of after the clean up?

Great find ! I'd love to see some close ups of the more well built pieces (after cleaning ) the silver pieces too - Some of the costume
jewelry may be collectible - better pieces will usually be hallmarked on the underside. Dating the stash could be tricky - but hallmarks
could help with that too- (looks to be 1950's -60's to me )

(the jumble of some 14K thrown in with the costume stuff, tossed with the silver wear chest - really feels like a
domestic burglary stash to me )

Or maybe a grave site.
