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:

Dude great stuff! Would love to see some of those coins cleaned up! Way to go.
 
Newt...My assumption is this old house was in GA.

Several years ago, some teenagers torched a huge old two-story place that had had slave quarters, outside kitchen, the whole ball o' wax...I had been in it several times when all was intact before I got into detecting.

Got a Garrett BFO...Went by there one weekend with it, but was overwhelmed with signals. Fast forward to my acquiring a discriminator much later...Went there again...Whole deal under asphalt & brick!

That too was in GA!

Lottsa historical stuff goin' away fast in the South. I'm happy y'all were able to rescue a small portion!

Those are some great finds. At least you were able to recover them before they were gone :thumbsup:

It's a silver make-up case. Those coins are pretty burnt up.
