🥇 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!

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!

Thanks!!

but I only fish 'catch and release' so will have to put that chest back!!

will have a line in the water in a few hours so will be back at the weekend

Just wondering if you can post up and update about coins for those of us on the job day and night .

Kool find and can't read 8 pages of comments . Congrats on the Banner , that's better than watchin' re runs of Dukes of Hazard !

Congrats on the find, the story, the banner.... I'm envious of you, the way you felt during all this... but in a good way ;-)

For what its worth.... In the middle ages, people stored their coins in clay vessels and called them "piggy's"( which us where we get the term piggy banks). If these coins where placed in the clay vessel as storage in the 1700's or early 1800's, then thats just following custom and not out of the ordinary. Very nice find and congratulations
