wanna see something cool?

[moonshine]

check this out. my uncle works in construction and the job they were on, they had to tear out some old sewer. he found a bunch of stuff and wanted me to take a look at it. i know everyone here will get a kick out of this. it was all stuck in the bottom of the sewer. pretty nasty but yet pretty darn cool too.

theres a bunch of old american silver, foreign coins, tokens, etc. IH pennies, wheats, a 2c coin, V nickles. etc. i havent gone through everything yet.

cool!saw a few rings(6) in that pile,any luck?

 

[Chico Rico]

Plumbers are brave people. I'd be giving those finds a 24 hour bleach bath! Then a pot of boiling dawn spiked water...Then rooting through. I guess that could be considered a sewer cache? Nice pile, let us know what all you have once sorted and sanitized.

Oh, man! Don't tell me I've got to start hunting sewers!........

I don't think so...

But looking at that pile sure makes me think about it!

Nice stuff - yes, please show us the good stuff when it has been cleaned up!

the big coin on the top to the left is that a penny an what is the date on it You should ask him if you can detect the spot...I'm sure he missed some if he was just eye balling the finds.... Either way that is one heck of a good haul!!!

 

[curbdiggercarl57]

Oh man, that's what I call heaven! Please keep us informed on what all you find, other than the smell factor, that would be a blast to go through.

That big coin is a Morgan silver dollar in great shape for all the crap it has been through. The coin below it with the eagle showing is the back of a barber half dollar.

Nice finds, at least one of those rings looks to be GOLD!

Reminded me of stories my grandfather told about cleaning sewers for a while in the 50's and they found all kinds of stuff, but that is a super cool haul there!
