Re: LARGE CENT CACHE (It's Mindblowing!)

My guess would be that if there is a dried up pond, it very likely could have been a place where people came to swim, bathe, and/or wash clothing. In any of these cases clothing would have been removed andhung from a branch. This may have lead to the lost coins. I always try to locate the old swimming hole. Many times there are good things waiting. I think you have proved that! WTG!!

Great digs guys! More than likely a kids play area (swimming-frog giggin' etc.)If it were from adults there would probably be more larger denomination coins especially if from men on horses.Those things are so big that if an adult had a bunch of them they would lighten their pockets by cashing them in for a nickle or dime same as we do today when we accumulate too many pennies,only today they just get hoarded up in a big jug till there's enough to cash them in.Great finds anyway and congrats on making the best of T'NET!!!

What a find. That had to have been a great time. I think I would have been less suprised with an alien landing as well. WTG!! ;D

Re: LARGE CENT CACHE (It's Mindblowing!)

We rebuilt a house here in Dixie, Washington back in 1995. Then I had a cheap $200 detector and found what I believed at one point was a cache that had been dispered by gophers. At first I found an old aluminum coffee pot. It was upside down and about 9 inches in the ground. For a cheap detector, I was surprised to find that. then after removing it, I found the lid in the same hole about 5 more inches down. With it, 2 indian head cents.
about a foot from there and repeatedly every foot for 9 feet in a line I found more indian cents, 12 in all.
I have since gone back over the area in my yard and have found a silver dime.
I am hoping to find the cache rumored to exist here. Apparently the old guy Ford Peters was a change horder and when he died no change was found in the house. I did find an indian head penny used as a shim in the wall when I replaced the wall.
I think you possibly have a container near by that was burried. Never know till you exaust that area with several detectors.
Gophers tend to do these types of things.
