Well , treasure is where you find it - we have our local guy (UnderMiner) who is scoring ridiculously great stuff from dumpsters
and curbside rubbish bins - based on just the finds that he's posted here - I believe he would be wasting his time with a metal
detector . Cheers !

This is amazing! It's so fascinating to think what those coins must have seen back in their day, maybe the October revolution, perhaps Lenin himself may have once handled them! Considering how little the younger generations (and some in the older) know about coins and treasure I'm not surprised you found them tossed in a bin. I'm sure if we all knew the actual number of treasures that get chucked to the recyclers on a daily basis we'd all be taking a peek in them :treasurechest::thumbsup:
