I've smoked some of the best marijuana on the planet and I can promise you it won't make you see "coin rocks".

Did you ever try Thai Buddha Sticks?

View attachment 1508948 so this isn't abunch of old dimes crusted together you can see the edges of it.

View attachment 1508949 you can't make out the imprints?

Those aren't a bunch of old dimes crusted together. There clearly double-die 1877 IHC's.

Go away now

Somebody got their rocks off. Was Not me. Bad part is I could see coin imprints on two of the coin rocks.

As you can see there's outlines of various older coins on all these. Mostly it's the mint year or some random tidbit of either front or back. I was out panning in Washington and noticed an imprint on a rock that was in my pan and started looking around and found a ton more so I loaded up my backpack with what I could carry and went home. Upon further inspection and after beating one open with a hammer(see last pic) I realised that someone had bundled these up along time ago and put them here. If you look at the last pic you can see that there's an outer layer of coins followed by an inner layer of coins that's at this point all one solid chunk. I took all the gold ones and some of the silver ones today to my local coin shop and they all checked out ok. I've been looking all over the internet and can't find anything. Most of them the inner coins were all glued together. I don't really know how long they've been there

A bit of them have designes and intricate pictures on them. I posted a few pics with this but idk what order there in

And yes I know I should have explained better in the first post lol

Now it all makes sense! I'd vote Banner, but, well.........................

Thanks for the entertainment

Are you telling me I faked all this?

 

[RobRieman]

What’s there to fake? It’s a pile of rocks. Unless the coins were made out of the exact kind of rock, there is nothing inside of them.

 

[Ahousefavor]

The "rocks" arnt real rocks... the coins are the middle there's a layer of silver coins then they must have just poured silver or whatever over the pile creating the "rock" then they spent however many many years under water where I found the. They corrode and build a mineral layer giving it the appearance that they have now. Laugh all you want lol I'm happy

 

[digger460]

And this is a pile of limestone, that over time have corroded into coins.

Oh boy! I just had to say something....lol

 

[Ahousefavor]

I understand your skepticism and that's cool. But what's harder to believe... that I may actually be right or that you can go and get any river rock crack it open and have it like this one? I circled the obvious stuff to help you. Prove me wrong and tell me what's circled isn't what I know it is. If you can do that I'll shut up and admit that I must crazy and gracefully bow out of this thread with my tail between my legs. Maby I'm just Not giving nature enough credit or just got super super lucky and picked up a magical river rock that I happend to split perfectly enough to replicate the writing/edges/full coins/completely different outer layer that I circled

Or ****. Come to my house in Seattle and break one open your self. Well put 500$ on what's inside. It's practically free money for you lol

 

[Icewing]

Run them under a metal detector, then report back with the results.
Simple enough?

 

[Ahousefavor]

It all beeps none of it's magnetic. Give me a sec and I'll split another and share results
