This place has been amazing. I went back to finish it up the other day and it's GONE! Everything has been pushed into a ditch for a new roadway. I'm glad we got in there when we did.

Some of the pics are B&W. I have more but can't find them right now. I will.

Lots of silver here.



A thread started last year relates to the same place:

can you go into more detail about the dollar bills..where they were an how many we're there?

I guess I could say they were "cached" beside a stone pillar. These were found by my partner and sold. I'll try to get the dates from him. They were old and burning a hole in his pocket before I could see them in person.

Am I missing something?......i didn't see any reference to dollar bills before this post or on the other thread.......looks like you had a productive spot there....just because it got pushed in a ditch doesn't mean you have to quit...with finds like you have made I would be digging in the ditch...a little harder work but looks like it would be worth it

The only problem I have with labeling that way would be that I don't have pictures of the rolls.(it would be asked) I'm sure there's plenty of stuff still to be found.

I think it was somewhere around 9.75lbs. of silver total in coins. I'm trying to get some more pics as I type.

Since this was not my site, I had zero say in the matter. I can say if I had found those I'd still have them.
I kept very little, but I did have a great time recovering a bit of history.

Re: An old burnt out house

I understand, but I still think you should change the title of the post to "9.5 POUNDS of SILVER COINS"


I was VERY surprised that I was the first person to mention the silver. I don't know if folks realized what they were looking at.



With better photos, this would make the Banner, no problem!

Re: An old burnt out house

Holy Crap!! :o

That is alot of silver, to bad it all has fire damage... :dontknow: A good title should only hint about the story and not give away what its about. :icon_thumleft: So his title is pretty good...

Awesome post, great finds!! :headbang:

Keep @ it and HH!! :D ;D
 
Re: An old burnt out house

you did some awesome work diggin out all that household stuff, along with the Franklins, I gotta say WOW.

those bills were definitely worth some new coinage, Hopefully your friend got what he wanted for them.


Again, you did yourself proud. :headbang:

I agree about the silver thing. As I looked back at the post I forgot to describe all the silver found.
Clad doesn't melt that way(it separates). I don't have any more silver pictures right now. I do have this one of a pocket watch found there.
