Got out with my buddy, Danny, this past Sunday for our first colonial cellar hole hunt in a month due to the weather. We both got skunked at the first site. We then moved onto another hammered site not far away. That's when it happened. I walked up to the collapsed chimney in the cellar hole and started to scan the rocks hoping that something may have been secreted in the rocks before it collapsed. I got a beautiful signal and started pulling rocks out and found one of the nicest Wood's Hibernia's I have ever seen. It's a 1723.

But wait, there's more! Scanning the rocks again I got another signal and pulled out what is possibly a Charles II farthing. This one remains to be definitely identified. But wait, there's more! Scanning again and moving rocks like Hulk Hogan I found a mid-1600's Liard De France!

The excitement and the thought of finding a cache crossed both mine and Danny's mind but that was all for now. We need to go back and I will be moving even more rocks to see if there could be something else in that hole. Could there be more? 55795301_10213668642413953_8885871556819943424_n.jpg 55807438_10213674207513077_7227718476360581120_n.jpg 55849213_10213706400677886_1633954521749127168_n.jpg 56528972_10213706400877891_3903468721888296960_n.jpg

Talk about a coin spill! Those are some great finds. I'd be back in there moving rocks for sure...better bring He-Man! Come to think of it, I might bring the Hulk too. Congrats.

That's a great story thanks for sharing! Really nice coins as well! Just think if a little work got you those... there has to be more! Good luck!
