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.

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?

I'd say you're dead on about when they were put in the ground, especially given the condition of the box they're in. I really would rather envision someone burying them on a summer day in the early 1900's though .......

Man oh man, I'm gonna have to get one of those prizm's....My xlt would have never shown up as a dime...it would have probably boinked over to the +95 and I would have missed it all the way around. But then again, that's just my luck.

I just had to look at this cache find again. It is amazing to me. I checked mikeinPa for his comments and he doesn't seem to post at all, so maybe that is why he has not responded to his friend's extraordinary dig.
