GREAT FIND!!......here is a link that has a few pictures of the find, that is now called the "SADDLE RIDGE HOARD" cache.....NICE!!
Just one of the coins a "Saddle Ridge Hoard" PCGS slabbed 1866-S $20 No Motto has an original mintage of only 12,000 and is very rare. PCGS values an MS60 one at $275,000. That one coin would make my DAY!!....No,no...make that a LIFETIME....lol.

Hey citiboy well you have to admit that company they hired to oversee control of the finds are petty clever in their marketing strategy to whip us all up into a frenzy before they get readu tp sell everything off. I would just hope they are just as good at authenticating the coins if I were a buyer. Did you see the piece on 60 minutes Sunday night about the European art forger who was so good he was fooling alot of art experts right and left ? Now that is just classic
