Silver Cache!!!!!!!!! (PICS)

[robbuckalew]

I went to the site of an old hotel today in the rain. 10 minutes into my hunt I get a dime signal with my Whites Prizm IV.
The signal was reading about 4 inches. I start digging but when I reached 4 inches I get nothing. Another two inches my digger hits something metal, but it sounded hollow and thought the usual aluminum can. When I dig around it I noticed it is a small black box. As I pulled the box out I realize there is something rattling around inside it. When I opened it, my heart stopped and I yelled in my head "it's SILVER." There are 16 coins inside, as follows and check the sequence of the dates out.

Awesome find, Watergap area?

Cresco

Those are quite worn to have such a narrow date range.  I guess somebody in the 1960s liked their barbers.  


What is the box made of?

 

[robbuckalew]

I don't know what it's made of

 

[davidtn]

The box sorta looks like the old Sucrets box except that it's possibly thinner.

Oh and By the way....BANNER!!!!

Someone's coin collection apparently. The last date is 1916 and they're all fairly evenly worn. Someone collected Barbers and Indian probably while they still could be pulled from circulation and hid them away. Nice find!! Congrats
