I don’t normally post much here but I do like to frequent it here to read as there are always a great variety of stories related to all things treasure. I wanted to share what was/is probably the best detecting/ treasure hunting day of my career. I’m using an iPad so forgive the poor sentence structure and the fact I’m going to copy most of my post from another site that I made yesterday. Anyhow enough of the pre talk let’s get to it.
I'm a member of ringfinders and I got a call this week I just had to share with everyone. I got a call about about a buried stash of silver in a backyard. According to what I was told, Grandpa had buried a stash of silver coins in the backyard and had only revealed that he had two weeks prior to his death. I was given the areas to hunt (1.8 acre property), but no idea what if anything was containing these coins in terms of container. I was pulling beer can after beer can and nail after nail I got a solid 16 tone on the Nox and I dug it. Turned out it was a 36" pipe that made thetell-tale sound of having something in it. Long story short we had to cut the pipeopen and when we did it was awesome. A find of a lifetime, a cache of silver coins.
Needless to say this was a life changing event for all of us. For me I have spent all my adult life looking for treasure and I found it in my God, my wife and my kids but never really buried in dirt until yesterday. It was getting late so I didn’t have a chance to do any key date searching with them as it was an hour and a half drive back. Several Morgan’s were 1882 so I’m hoping there’s an 1883 in there.
The coins were stacked by section, the silver dollars were in the first 12 inches, halves and quarters the next 12 inches and barbers, mercs and Rosie’s in the last 12 inches.
Im not posting to brag but rather to encourage because if you don’t dig you won’t find. I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep until Sunday lol. I can’t stop thinking about it.
Best to all and I hope all your scoops and shovels strike gold or silver!
