4 Indian head pennies 1872 1900 1905 1907

2 Philippine Fifty Centavos both 1944
British
2 Australian One Schilling 1910 1924

1 C-50 1921 R
1 BVONO da L.1 1923 R

So where in the yard was this cache located? Around a big tree or marker of some sort?

It was about 2 inches down in the dirt under a floorboard in the barnhouse

lol I found it in old westbury...old estate that had a barn and guest house on the property...only abandoned property I could find in this area. Probably only 1 in long island, we both now how congested and concreted long island is.

BTW if ur ever looking for a hunting buddy let me know. I can't seem to get any of my friends into the hobby and it'd be nice to have some1 to hunt with. I got a couple of spots I could use some help with.
 
awesome find! grabbing my detector and heading out this morning, this inspired me.
 
I hate to tell you this, but you just used up all your good luck in one instance! You may as well donate that detector to a Boy Scout now, lol! Very nice find. Congrats to you!

Happy Hunting!

I hope not. I got plenty of detecting years ahead of me. Still on the search for gold.
