Awesome...I'm glad to see another teen who doesn't think detecting is for nerds.
 
Buddy I've been at it for 30 years and never have found anything like the hoard you found. That is something to be very proud of. DON'T TELL ANYBODY WHERE YOU FOUND THEM. Or it will be hunted to death before you get back on your feet. WTG!!!
 
That Capped Bust Half Dollar is an awesome find. The Morgan Dollars are good but the other is very hard to find metal detecting. You have done great but go get the rest - have you cleaned the place out yet?

BEAUTIFUL! I was extremely pleased with my 1831; you're 1811 beats it! I have an 1810 as well, but it was found in a drawer, not the ground. Can't wait to see what else you pull out of this site.
 
Great Finds. You gotta love this hobby.
 
Adam....very nice finds! Those are absolutely beautiful!

Hope that leg gets better soon so you can go get the rest of granpa's goodies!!

Hey Adam,I was wondering if you know that under the lake at "lake of the woods" is an old abandoned gold mine ! Also if you ever get to that house out in the woods i told you of. I'll tell ya what happened to me there one fullmoon night ! I was detecting between 2 big trees and got a good signal,well about that time there was a loud crashing noise and when i looked up there was one very angry and large bull coming strait for me ! I grabbed the detector and ran for my life ! That bull was on my tail and i was dodging trees and rocks and finally lost him when i dove over a large embankment.If you do get out there i would love to have some picture's of the area.I really miss that old place !Good luck and i hope you are well soon so you can get out there and find some more treasure ! ;D

Im kind of out of it for six weeks, i wrestle abnd i broke my leg at a tournament last saturday, so i figure i have some research time because im on crutches but as soon as i heal ill be back along to some of my other spots

Sorry bout the leg dude! I know one thing...If it was me diggin up $100 coins, I'd be CRAWLING around that place. LOL
I seriously wish you a speedy recovery. I fell not long ago and busted a few ribs. Man what a royal pain in the...rear.
I broke an arm once while wrestling....Thankfully it wasn't mine ;D

Get well and get back out!
