🥇 BANNER Clay Pot with Coins Inside!!!!!

[BVI Hunter]

Back to my pals old property and found had a signal close to this pot.
I had previously picked up lots of surface bottle finds so moved this out of the way to use the pinpointer - but the signal had gone

Looked inside and saw what turned out to be coins!!!!

Will try to clean these up a bit, the soil was packed quite hard inside.

Picture below show the pot (outside and inside) and the coins as found!

Hey Brad... BVI is sooo damn lucky and content with his' finds, I believe he gave us the coordinates to a KGC Cache. What do you think? Should we thank him now or wait and see what we find?

Well buddy I was kind of excited for a second. Then I clicked on it and my heart sank. I couldn't believe my long lost friend BVI sent me to the "University of Tennessee". Now Fort Knox would of been better BVI (if you had to fib). Frank, that's a good spot we ought to think about. How's your back lately?

BVI.... Any idea when you might get back to where you found these coins and "dig" a little deeper?

Same here Brad! Maybe BVI knows something that we don't. My' back is doing a lot better this year than last year and hopefully up to the task of MD'ing and digging. It's probably worth the trip with all of the cute girly eye candy walking around on campus.

Brad might want to dig after dark seeing as he is married an all. However, being divorced for almost 6 years now, I think I will take my chances during the day. With all of those cute Coeds walking around on campus, who knows, one might be looking for a rich sugar daddy. Just don't tell them I am not loaded (well sometimes when I have Jack Daniels with me) and I probably taste more like vinegar and salt than sugar. It's too bad I am not a Potato Chip!

Congrats again on your wonderful five silvers! I'm enjoying this thread a lot.

But please on any thread don't anyone assume that an awkward question or theory posed by a reader indicates a desire to greedily take over or share in a "private" site of great potential --- because some of us ask "odd" questions or post "odd" theories because of our ignorance of a certain area or because, like me, of our love of theorizing about how something ended up where it was found or how it got to be in the condition it is. Just my opinion, but with the big variety of personalities & life experience on t-net, let's be sure to cut others some slack in our reactions. Have fun everyone! And have a little extra fun for me as I've had to eschew my beloved metal detecting for nearly a month due to overdoing what my wobbly ole body will tolerate, lol. Andi

Hope you get back swing a coil soon

oh man that's great!!

I believe that I can answer that question! The area where BVI lives has been hit repeatedly by Hurricanes from well before to well after the coins were stashed and probably buried in the clay pot, all the way up to now when he found the clay pot with the coins inside. It is reasonable to believe with a fair certainty, that some of those Hurricanes were strong enough and had strong enough winds and storm surge to deposit salt water even in the higher terrain where the clay pot was found. In fact, I doubt that you could find any place there where the soil does not contain salt. Therefore if you have salt and other minerals blown or pushed inland and deposited in the soil, that with enough time and normal rains, that things such as coins buried in the soil, will eventually become encrusted.

What a great find! Big Congrats. I can say that metal dug up here near the seacoast show signs of salt degradation quite a ways inland.

For sure!
and the clump that came out, came out in one solid piece, it took a whole day of soaking to break up (and reveal the other coins) so goodness knows what was in there - I don't think it was 'pure natural' soil?
the coins are STILL stained too!!

BVI... Good morning guy. Isn't there anything more you can do (soaking?) to help with the staining further? I don't have a clue. Never had to "clean" anything yet. I'm just now learning how to get rust off my horseshoe collection. I'll be ready for your iron's soon.

the lump of 'soil' they were is dissolved to nothing, but the coins remain stained - I'm sure I could get the nice and bright, but think will leave as-is to retain that sense of 'history'.
I thought the staining could have been from the pot material, or perhaps they were packed in something inside the pot?

That would make sense. The pot clay or glaze leaching into and maybe reacting with what ever was in the pot surrounding the coins. We find coins in the soil that are strange colors.

Well BVI I'd wish you luck fishing but with the way your luck is going I doubt you need it!
You would probably cast your line and get it caught on one of those pesky sunken treasure Galleons! Then you'd have to haul it all up and take photos of it all and post them on T Net, a lot of hard work....GOOD LUCK!!!!


I know what you mean AQUA, you turn your back for a minute and "somebody" makes a banner find!
