Just in time for Halloween, an interesting find, silver, copper and a dash of Witchcr

[Locke]

Well I’m on the Vineyard again and was hitting the usual cart paths/old roads in search for antiquities.

Near a tree root I get a nice screaming signal on my Equinox. Dig a plug and this is what is see...


I’m thinking, ok a pocket spill, a dollar and some pennies...I turn the bill over and see this...


Wow! Start digging....lots of signal in the hole...
Mentally was hoping for an old pocket spill, however I see that the pennies that are coming up are memorials. It was getting dark as I continued shoveling coins into my pocket until the pinpointer finally fell silent.

Get home and start cleaning off the coins, final count;

38 Memorials (youngest one being 1982)
6 wheats
1 1950 Rosie
1 1921 Morgan Dollar

Mixed in with the dirt were 6 copper nuggets...and a copper tube.


So everything is cool up until this point...I start gently unfolding the bill (and realize there are two 1 dollar bills. As I open the second one I see this....)

Edges look like they are burned.

Then start unrolling there copper tube and find this...

Looks like it’s some sort of leaf wrapped by a wire/rubbery material and again burned (some ash fell out).

Friends wife says it’s witchcraft. Copper is apparently used for healing and financial enrichment.

How long do you thing this has been in the ground...pennies seem to be in pretty good shape after 37 years?

Anyone else came across anything like this before??

Very interesting. Any chance this was in the proximity of Edgartown? My pre-goth playing with satanism aunt would have been a HS Sr disappearing with her loser 25 year old boyfriend in 1983.

Nope, this was just South of Vineyard Haven.

What a strange and wonderful find!

Nice find. i'm sure whatever the spell was its long past worn out. i hope for your sake anyway. Lol

Wow, I'll bet that Morgan was a surprise ! My detecting partner and myself did stumble upon an area deep in the woods, where there was some "witchcraft" going on. We found some horses tails, and hair off of the mane that should not have been out there. We then found some body parts to Goats. Apparently some sort of animal sacrifice. We left fairly quickly. I have never found anything "metal" wise, that had to do with witchcraft though. Very interesting find.

I wish they would do that more often. That's a very strange find congrats! I saw some people in Puerto Rico making a Santeria offering on the beach and I feel like I've seen a couple things in public parks in the city that were offerings. I wonder what that writing on the bill says?

Cool stuff for sure.

I had the same question, tried researching some witchcraft symbolism but couldn’t find anything close.

If it were me, I would sell it all off and repurchase some clean ones "Just in case" It is more than likely a wealth spell as Silver also has significance in attracting wealth.
All that voodoo crapola freaks me out. If I had found two voodoo dolls with pins I would have also returned them immediately. Especially if they were black pin heads which is to bring harm. White pin heads are to bring healing. Much better in my book but I would still leave them be.

One thing is for sure, you will never forget the sound that silver dollar made on your Nox! I found one in the seeded hunt at pound the ground, my ears are still ringing!!!

I have not dug a Silver dollar but silver half dollars pound your ears as well!

Absolutely! I assumed it was just large iron, but it stayed solid on VDI which I thought was unusual.

Now that is not something you find everyday! I hope it doesn't come with a curse

 

[CASPER-2]

[CASPER-2]

I found something along same lines in Fla. waters

It's all fine and dandy until the digger wakes up the next morning and finds witch warts all over his nose.

Seriously though, nice find on the 1921 Morgan!

 

[Wildcat1750]

Creepy but profitable!

Haha! So far so good...however anything adverse that happens from now on will be solely blamed on this witchcraft [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
