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.

I read your previous posts, Rob. You are a lucky man.

I have never seen someone find so many silver dollars and silver half dollars, and practically not have to contend with any other pesky coins at all. You also found that pristine 2 mark coin in your pocket change, and that beautiful almost pristine George copper in your mothers lawn.

And those two arrowheads that your dog dug up, with those pronounced medial ridges and no bifacial reduction.... so unusual!

And now this amazing cache!

Your skill as a metal detectorist and luck are unreal!

I don't post everything I find. Only the honorable mentions. There is no reason to post all the clad and junk I find.
the only reason I found those silver dollars are because I knew where to look. Lost Coin collection. Thanks to MikeinPA.
Maybe the hobby likes me but I am never gonna stop.
I have to thank MikeinPA for showing me this site as well.

OK now you've had your fun and excitement diggin a great little cache of Barbers. Now if you would please go to a field in central Iowa and redistribute these in the ground so that others (meaning Me) may enjoy the feeling of finding such a nice set of coins your effort would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for posting, makes me want to go out again tonight,

P.S. Please don't forget to mark the large X on the ground where you place the coins. No since in me having to look too hard to find them?
