Found Modern Cache, Kennedy Kennedy, Kennedy......

[Slipperyjack47]

Sunday I had been to a church overflow parking lot that was just a grass patch with a few trees where an old house once stood, I had found my oldest coin ever there a 1849 LC and my very first Buff a 1920, so Monday night I watched the rain storms finally pass through and thought maybe I had time to go hit that lot as I only got to do half of it the night before. After arriving I fired up the Ol'X-Terra 70 and started to walk a grid and had'nt gotten 20 feet when my machine went CRAZY! everywhere I swung it was beepin! I thought I must have came across where someone had dumped a pail of nails but the VDI was saying it was all money! I tried to single out one of the signals and then pinpointed it. I debated if I should dig or not and thought what the heck I had been finding some nice stuff I better take a look. I got down and popped a plug and when I turned it up I saw two large discs starin up at me and my first thought was Large Cents and lots of them!!!!!!!!!! I then noticed about 3 lincoln cents in with the big disc's and this kinda took the wind out of my sails lol. I grabbed up the big boys and seen JFK and new I had found a couple of halves, I retrieved the cash and swung back over the hole and the minelab was screaming!I pulled back a little more dirt and the Kenndy's came pouring out like a water fall! I could'nt believe my eyes. Now its starting to get dark and fast too and to make matters worse its starting to rain again. I began diggin and probing for all I was worth, I kept pullin coin after coin after coin, I kept stuffing them into my pocket, I don't know why I did'nt put them in my apron I guess the excitement was clouding my thinking lol. Finally it got too dark to dig and as I stood up to leave I swung the X-Terra over the hole and it was still screaming! I went to a friends house to show him what I had found, He was flabbergasted at the amont of halves I pulled from the ground,I told him that I would be going in late to work in the morning as I had to finish digging this spot! I arrived back bright and early in the morning and continued pulling coin after coin again till I had no more noise from the Minelab which I think maybe has a sore throat now from all that screaming lol

My final tally is as follows

Pennies (all zinc) 208

Nickles 19

Dimes 15

Quarters 9

Kennedy Halves 34 .... 1 is a 40% silver


Total $23.78

Nice Cache. Certainly does make you wonder how all those coins got there...?

Must have been a real heart pumper.

Congratulation!

Excellent job Jack. I've never seen that many halves come out of a hole before. Nice nice find.

After looking at the photos again, it appears that you even got a couple of Canadian nickels.

That is FREAKIN' AWESOME dude.

My heart would have been racing a mile a minute.

I can see why you started stuffing your pockets instead of your pouch.

It's a natural reaction, like when I hit big at the slot machines.

Good job and if I were you I would give that place a thorough check, who knows what else is there.

Totally awesome Jack! You really are finding the stuff! I'm elated when I find one Kennedy half in a week...I can't even imagine 34 in one spot! You are the man!
