Little cache found on the beach

[Bridge End Farm]

Found on a beach this morning that uses a sifter at night, I will never ever again believe those things clean a beach of everything. I have hunted this beach area before too several months ago. You never know what might be under your toes haven't found anything newer than 79 so far and older than 63. nice clump of copper Stuff all fused together like you see

I am sure it was a storm blow out that was brought in by the last high surge next hurricane or surge I will be looking again in that area as maybe there was more than one sack in the home probably never find a find like it again

I was watching Pawn Stars and a guy had a bunch of silver rupees fused together. I thought of this thread. The rupees were worth 3/4 million though

Hope you are doing well Bobby.

Up here in Toronto, Canada. We have a rather large Indian segment of the population living just north or us in a town called Brampton. There is a significant religious holiday I believe it is called "Diwali" that is pretty heavily celebrated.

Anyway, during this holiday celebration, members of the church will make their way down to either a large lake or a running river or stream and drop, or throw pennies & other copper objects offerings to thier god into this water.

Last September I found one of these locations. There are litterally thousands of pennies located within an 8 foot circle. I stopped at 2500 because the water was just a bit too cold for my liking. Anyhow, that is what I think you may have there. Your gathering of pennies may just be a bit more localized.

Good luck.

I dont know, but perhaps it was the final wishes of a now-deceased detectorist that had his former clad findings reburied in a cache for another detectorist to find!

While in Bangkok, a few years back I had the opportunity to observe and participate in a festival called Loi Krathong. They float offering boats made of banana leaves and flowers down stream. most were filled with coins as an offering to the river goddess. I imagine the hundreds of years this festival has been going on have deposited quite a mother lode in the coffers of the Phra Mae Khong.

I like the idea of a fellow detectorist having all his pennies buried, so some other person with a detector could find them again.
And the guy who was in S.E. Asia.......put on some scuba gear and have at it.......what a time, digging up hundreds of years of coins thrown into that river.......the impossible dream.....
