Sometimes a stack of silver coins in the woods is....

[ToastedWheatie]

Detecting in the woods, and hit this between some rocks:

Two seconds of excitement until I see this:



It turns out to be a weed (pot) grinder....

 

[SD51]

Ouch, now that's just wrong! You think you've found a stack of coins and you get that!

 

[secondstar]

Clearly that device was made to torment metal detectorists!

 

[Underwonder]

Hiw disappointing..but a good story!

 

[BLK HOLE]

Dang that would just torque me off!

 

[Digger RJ]

[DigToChina]

I’d be grinding my teeth with that one for sure [emoji51]

Do you think someone planted it there as a cruel joke? Makes for a good story at least. Congrats on an interesting find.

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Still a interesting find!

Lol, damn! Now that is a rip job. Sorry to hear that.

Or perhaps not. The OP didn’t show a picture of the contents. There could have been some treasure in the bottom!

Nah. Was well under leaves. Probably dropped last year. It;s an old active spot, but has some vistas. They were probably enjoying the view...

Thanks. I feel better now, lol.

Funny story...
I left it outside on the deck. Yesterday I noticed it's gone.
It turns out that my son, home from college, had friends over that night. On the deck.
When they left, he's sees the grinder. Peeved that they left it, and afraid Dad will say something, he threw it out.
And no, no "treasure" inside. Just some "residue."

"Curses, foiled again!" A disappointment indeed TW. I guess that era of the American experience is history too.

Here's to turning the page!
