Johnny "Cache"...I got it one piece at a time...
Much is made of finding caches of coins, and I must admit that it would be an titillating experience, just one I've never had the pleasure of. This is my "cache", assembled from coins I dug (roughly half of those in the picture) and coins I have bought with dug clad.
I came back to this hobby last fall after a 13 year hiatus. I had sold all but 29 silver dimes and a couple half dollars. I hunted for 3 months last fall...until the ground froze, then a few excursions through the spring. I began hitting it pretty hard 5 weeks ago.
It is still possible to amass an amazing amount of silver. I use every opportunity to add silver to my collection, scouring eBay for real bargains on which I can profit and get to keep a few free ones too. There are 9 Barber half dollars in this picture that I got on eBay. I bought a lot of 10 coins for 89 dollars (of dug clad) and sold one (1892-O) for 215 dollars. The profit was spent on still more silver.
Don't let the fact that you may not live where there's lots of silver coins in the ground discourage you from amassing your treasure.....you can still do it. This picture represents only about 4 1/2 months of evenings and weekends in the hobby.
