Found Silver Coin Cache with new SE PRO...Outstanding!!

[mj-air23]

Finally got out with my new SE Pro that I have been dying to swing. A buddy and I went for a 2-hour hunt to a couple of spots he had permission to hunt at. First, was an older house where we picked up some clad and I got a wheatie. I am still trying to get used to the SE, as I had the XS before, and the iron mask was different, the pinpointing was definitely different, and I am trying to get used to the Ferrous numbers, as I have not used them before. We moved on to the next spot, and right off the bat, my buddy picks up a well worn Barber quarter. We thought, hmmm, this spot could have potential. He dug another target, and it was 3 clad quarters in one hole. Meanwhile, I dug a clad dime, a zinc penny, some can slaw, and just kinda wandered around hoping to get some kind of a solid signal. I swung the coil next to a bush, and got a solid 00 25 on the SE. Thinking it was maybe a wheatie or Indian I kneeled down, dug the plug, and scooped out the first handful of dirt. Stuck the probe in the pile and was delighted to find a 1910 Canadian Quarter. I was pleasantly surprised to get my first older Canadian silver coin. I called my buddy over to show him, and then put the coin in my pouch. I stuck the probe back in the hole and she sang out again. I said, oh boy, there's more in here! I reached in and took another handful of dirt out, and mixed in the dirt were 5 or 6 more silver coins, some quarters and a half, I think. Now, I started getting shaky....I looked down in the hole, and I could see more coins in there stacked together, but horizontally in the hole, with the reeded edges sticking up. Now I was excited. I dug some more dirt out around them and scooped them out of the hole. By the time I was done, I had 21 silver coins laying beside the hole! Totally awesome!! Final tally was: 3 Barber Halves, 2 Walking Liberty Halves, 4 Barber Quarters, 6 Standing Liberty Quarters(2 with dates), 5 Washington Quarters, and the first 1910 Canadian Quarter. Oldest coin was 1897 and newest coin was 1936. My first ever Cache and its something I will never forget! It is why I love this hobby so much. Thanks for sharing it with me!

Kinda makes me want to go out and buy an SE Pro. Nice bunch of coins!

Mystro...You might want to consider that. Besides the thrill of finding those coins, I also submitted my find on the Minelab website under the success stories, and was lucky enough to get voted find of the month, and won a bunch of Minelab detecting goodies, as well as a $250 voucher for any Minelab products. I wouldn't hunt with anything else.

Congradulations on the great discovery!!!
I haven't found any caches yet, but the photos sure are inspiring.
I wonder if they were in some kind of container or bag when buried... did you see any sign of this?
I would hit that area hard like others stated.. maybe more in other places
Start using your imagination and look for places that you would hide money.
Maybe some outbuildings around check around corner posts and fence lines.
Good luck !!!

Found no material or container of any sort with the coins. I have not been back yet as the grass is starting to get long but I know I will be very soon. Thanks for the reply!

Now do you melt it down or keep them? I can see US currency taking serious hit. Id hold onto it in one way or another.

Very very nice find. I hope you gave your buddy a coin or two? HH -Joe

I keep all my finds I make with my metal detector...I actually put all the silver coins in a display case with a picture of them the way they came out of the ground, and the date I found them, as a remembrance of the rare occasion. Thanks for the replies and Happy Hunting to everyone!
