Welcome to Tnet,, as has been said we need pictures.
You can also pick up a copy of The Official Red Book,
A Guide Book Of UNITED STATES COINS

If you can discern where the coins are from ,U.S. U.K., other foreign - you can also do some basic online research . You will need to know the country of origin , denomination , date and mint mark for this to assist you .Good Luck !
Welcome to tnet. You should always fill in the blanks when you need info such as the who, what, where, when, why, & how. You gave us a vague statement and honestly my crystal ball has never worked right. Please post pictures so we can assist.
I noticed this was your very first post elliesue - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).
You really need to post pictures if you want us to help ya!
Welcome to Treasure Net !!
If you can't post pics, we might be able to ID each coin by a good description of both sides; including the diameter in MMs.
