GREATEST DAY EVER>>>>>>>>>HUGE COIN SPILL PICS

[coinhunter inc.]

OK GUYS................I took today off and hunted at a friend who owned 200 acres who told me about some "ruins" in his woods, I went out, about 1 minute into the hunt, buff nick, then, coin after coin after coin after coin after coin, one after another of all sorts of different years, nothing after 1969, all pre-1969 different countries, different years, Indians, buffs, v's, flying eagles, barbers, large cents from Canada, New Zealand, some I don't know yet..........in all 394, yes 394 coins came out of the ground and in decent shape but tons of glass caused me to stop today, going back, If you want I will ad many more pics, but here are a few, I need help with the 1865 coin..............I am so totally psyched..............................so now I have to edit because of some people who called me a liar, I thought it was pretty evident that this was a coin collection that I found, I th ink I broke the bottles when I was digging these up, out of the entire group only several of these coins were off by themselves, I realize that these coins are in great shape and am not claiming I pulled 400 individual coins from the ground, I thought it would be evident but I guess you have to clarify every fact so you are not called a liar.

Congratulations on a great find. You stated the coins were found in a 10-25 yard area. In my opinion, you did not break the containers or jars that contained the coins. They were already broken before you ever arrived on the scene. If you had broken them, the coins would still be grouped together and not spread out. Likely a tractor or dozier did the damage a few years ago. In the right type of soil, the coins could still look somewhat as nice as they did the day they were scattered. Hope you find more.

If I may, the reason some guys are doubting the find is that copper cents & nickles don't hold up that well in the ground ever. But.. they are thinking of coins that have been buried and exposed to the elements for many many years. It is entirely possible as others have suggested that you found some kids "buried treasure" that he stole from someones coin collection & buried in the last 20-30 years. They aren't taking into consideration that copper coins & nickles that are recently lost are going to look very much like those.. Cut them some slack. In the past we've had a newbie or 2 show up with amazing finds of coins that looked like they were just taken out of coin flips & buried the day before & who were clearly lying. I don't believe that to be the case with yours. Great find !

I think you will find that most of the time, the doubters are the ones that are having crappy luck and just can't stand to see someone else hit a great find!
More power to you.........may this be the best hunt you have ever had, but, the worst of those to come!
