88 coins found in fire pit hole

[K1DDO1979]

I was asked to help teach a 16 year old how to use his detector in their yard. After some pointers and going around with him for awhile and he pulled a old bell and silver quarter so I left him to it and broke out my detector. In the middle of the yard I got a hit and old popped a silver dime. I rechecked the hole and a bit deeper I was getting burnt wood pieces and melted plastic. When the plastic beeped I looked close and seen coins in it. I kept on digging and in the end got 88 coins and a medallion. The only silver was two quarters and a dime but I'm glad they were there. Also two clad nickels,a clad dime and clad quarter. The rest was penny's. To bad it wasn't another old spill but I thought it was worth posting. They were crazy hard to get out of the melted clumps. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]

Great finds.

First... immediately eliminate the teenager- he's a witness and knows where the site it.

Then get in there and find the old stash of coins!

Good luck finding the rest.

Agreed. Haha
I said to him earlier when he found the quarter that the silver quarter looked like it was in a fire. I think there is more there for sure and may have been a shed or something that burnt down years ago with maybe containers of coins in it. To bad I had to leave but I do have permission to do the yard so I'll be back. If he finds more than Ill be happy for him but if it was 1800's or older coins I'd be devastated! Haha

Nice silvers. Too bad the pennies are worthless. Unless you spend them in the states!

Hopefully a big bunch of silver is still hiding there somewhere. Sweet

AKA "I'm Not letting him find all the good stuff. So I knocked him over and ran and got my detector!"
