My treasure hunting dog finds a cache!

Well, my dog not only discovered a large deposit of coin, but she dug it up by eating the dirt, lol.

When we have used cooking grease like bacon grease, instead of pouring it down the drain, we pour it on the ground n the back yard. It is my dogs favorite place in the world

Everytime we let her outside, she goes to that spot and licks. Well, a few days ago, I noticed a coin laying there. After looking closer, there was a whole lot of coins just laying there on top of the ground. Started pulling them up and they kept coming. Lots of coins. Most were licked clean to

Ive been over this spot with my detector and I actually remember getting a hit but it was very large so I passed it up. That'll teach me. It was all clad and noting was newer than 1995 so its been there at least 10 years. Very strange that these would all just be poured out there. There was a lot of quarters, nickels, dimes, pennies. Here is a picture of the find and of the treasure hunting dog. I do rent her out by the day

She's a 3 year old Rot/Golden Retriever mix.

I was just thinking (you can stop laughing now)

You might want to put a few tablespoons of wesson oil down her throat before you give her that big bone treat.
I had a smaller dog I took to the vet because she stopped eating. Turned out she had swallowed a marble some how that had gotten stuck in her intestines and they had to surgically remove it. (True story) Know why? Because the vet bill I got said so.
Anyway the vet said if we had known about it early enough, a few spoons of cooking oil down her throat would have probably allowed the marble to pass through.
It just might pay off oneway or another to do it. HH
