Got into the woods here in White Plains, looking for an old school house from the 1905 - 1920 era, that was supposed to have been built on top of an older school from the 1800s. I had been out for about an hour before it started raining a bit of ice/sleet, when I got a deep bouncing 34, 36, 37, in Artifact mode. Honestly I almost didn't dig it because I guessed it was big, deep, iron, but I was getting ready to call it a day and hadn't filmed a dig yet. Glad I Dug It! I made an appointment to see a coin guy in Greenwich, tomorrow so I can get them appraised. I am super stoked!!!!:headbang::hello2:

These make up the bulk of the coins, however, there are a couple of dates that may be worth some money. I just want to wait for the professional opinion on condition before I get even more excited. I swear I thought I was going to stroke out when I dug these up - still in shock! Thank you all so much!:notworthy:

If they were mine, I'd have all of them professionally graded; especially the '03 O and the '93 O. The fact that no Peace dollars are in the collection would be a strong indication (to me, anyway) that the cache was buried before 1921. As such, I'd suspect the condition of each coin would be of a higher grade due to they not being in circulation for many years.

Voting banner as well! Fantastic find!!

I wonder if it was buried recently. All those silver coins touching underground for 100+ years...many will usually come out really darkly stained from reacting with each other esp with no apparent top on the jar. I'll bet there are more there. Keep us posted :icon_thumright:
