Could you imagine finding something like that? In standard weight, that would be about 307 lbs of silver. Try fitting that in your pocket.

An interesting find for the farmer for sure.
That would be amazing to find something like that today.

There is plenty of John Vann information online should anyone wish to follow up on this 'lead'.
Thanks Jeff.
