So, how many tin cans, you swept your coil over, that might have held a treasure inside...??

I don't know! But, I usually dig them all up so I don't think I missed many treasures in a tin can!

I do love this story but I can say with absolute certainty that you won't see any pictures or news stories (or any stories) if I ever get lucky enough to find an old hoard.

Dig everything you should see my pull tab collection. Just dug up a neat one with a blue star on it!!!

I’ve always wondered if you would hear the coins, in a can, or metal box, so I’m digging everything until I find out. lol

I'm with ArfieBoy! Dig it all and worry none.

I guess if I was to find a hoard, some would have to be quietly distributed to bank lock boxes, family and etc...maybe re-buried, again....!
Hey, with a bunch of GOLD, back then, was a LOT of money to somebody - today, it is too..., a crazy amount for each coin, is
paid at auctions...! Publicity drives the prices up..., historic connections make them top dollar.

I always get a bonger of a reading and thinking it is a quart Mason jar full of goodies find another zinc lid !! grin

Or, you stumble upon a Can Dump, what do you do...??
Great place to HIDE something like that hoard, tho....

Not paying your federal and state income taxes, you have a great chance of off to jail you will go.

Thats my dream now I gotta go back to all my sites and dig those cans wow thats cool

11. What makes you think that you won't get caught? Selling at coin auctions get top dollars, but the IRS wants their share.

IRS doesn't relate to Family Connections; Historical Events...; even the common habit of burying your valuables...!
I'm going to start looking at can dumps a little differently, in the future...!
