Got up early and took my son detecting to I site I've hit a dozen times. Last two times didn't get anything but was going to try to find trash pit. We walked about a mile in the woods and was just about there and I was hunting the side of the hill beside the original road hoping they threw their trash towards the river. When I got a solid hit. Dug down about 6 inch and got a copper. I filled the hole and then decided to recheck it and got a broken up signal so just started digging deep when my son said what's that. I look over in the pile and see like 10 gren disk scattered in the pile. Think I went in shock then lol. My son reched in the hole and dug out another. I picked up one and could tell it was a kg11 then a kg 111 after that I just bagged them up then swung the coil again and got two more we missed. 16 total 1700s coins. And one flat button about a foot away. I'd say my coolest find yet. Never thought I'd find a cache but seeing post on here new it was possible. Starting to just clean them with a brush and know I got two Connecticuts and a 76 irish and a kg11 and a couple kg111. Have 4 I can't tell yet. What a morning still can't believe it.

That young'un of yours should be thoroughly ruint for life now. Banner all day. Crazy to find that many 1700s coins in one spot considering many of us will die never having found even one!

What a great day for you both.Story will be told for many Thanksgivings for sure.
PS.AT Pro now for sale.I don't want to die knowing I didn't find one.

Fantastic copper spill. Since there were no US Large Cents in there, but there were state coppers, you have to think late 1780s to mid 1790s for timing of that spill. Congrats on the BANNER

A couple years ago, I pulled a large cent and a Virginia half cent out of the same hole. What a rush that was! I can't imagine finding a cache like the one you uncovered. I would probably have had a heart attack and fallen over into my own hole! Utterly amazing dig! Congrats!
