LLK finds an Eisenhower Dollar cache!

willpond & LLK · Mar 20, 2011

Well we had our first detecting of the year today. Found .11 cents and a pocketfull of junk this morning. LLK (Lucky Little Kid) wanted to try again this afternoon. Went to a local house built in the 1870's that has been remodeled many times over the years. LLK wanted to search under the porch. After a few minutes of grumbling and complaining she said she was going to try near the old stairs under the existing porch. The next thing I heard was the eardrum shattering shrieks of a nine year old girl digging up an old canning jar full of something "heavy". LLK was shaking so badly I could here the coins rattle in the jar. After we got the lid off and dumped out the contents, there we stood staring at a pile of Eisenhower Dollar coins, 100 of them to be exact! The family that lived in the house from the late 1930's until the early 1990's had thirteen children, I am sure this had to be their "Rainy Day" money. LLK hunted a few more minutes and also found a 1930 Wheat Penny. LLK may have had all the luck finding this cache today, but I believe I'm the lucky one for having such a great detecting Buddy!

Great find! My daughter loves detecting with me as well, she just isn't big enough yet to swing her own machine but has a great time pulling the coins out of the dirt for daddy! Priceless time spent with your daughter, way to go! Got my banner vote!

This is the kind of story we all love to read about, and dream of finding. Fantastic find LLK. :hello2:

Looks like you found it with the Mighty Tesoro too. You should send that story & pictures to them to use on their site. :icon_thumleft:

I would never get rid of that jar and those coins. That's something to keep forever.
CONGRATS to you young lady!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!! That is completely awesome. I vote banner as well. I hope to find a coin one day with my little ones. They like to go out with daddy but usually get cold, hungry, or have to go pee withing about 15 minutes LOL. They do like finding the old glass in some of the field sites that I hunt. It is so awesome to spend time with your kids doing something that you love. I'm very happy for both of you.

With the number of people claiming this should be banner (and I agree), I'm surprised it isn't yet running as a banner find. Heads up, folks! Unless you vote banner (left side of the thread), it doesn't get the credit. If you haven't done so yet, you need to let your banner vote be counted.

BobinSouthVA · Mar 23, 2011

that is awesome.

That first picture of her is priceless and should be up on the banner

Congrats to Her

BANNER

nuggy · Mar 24, 2011

I voted for banner too, but because find was made by daughter and not by the member - might not be eligible for banner.

kc10bull · Mar 24, 2011

BANNER VOTE here!!!! I think an exception to the rules need to be applied here! It's a family member, and I consider it a FAMILY BANNER moment! You talk about your priceless moments, this is absolutely one! One moment the both of you will remember all of your life. Just think how many times in the future, both of you will recall that discovery, and the sounds your Daughter made pulling out that ole jar of coins! CONGRATZZZZZZZ. And here's to many morebanner moments in your adventures!
