Got into the woods here in White Plains, looking for an old school house from the 1905 - 1920 era, that was supposed to have been built on top of an older school from the 1800s. I had been out for about an hour before it started raining a bit of ice/sleet, when I got a deep bouncing 34, 36, 37, in Artifact mode. Honestly I almost didn't dig it because I guessed it was big, deep, iron, but I was getting ready to call it a day and hadn't filmed a dig yet. Glad I Dug It! I made an appointment to see a coin guy in Greenwich, tomorrow so I can get them appraised. I am super stoked!!!!:headbang::hello2:

Even though you've a great find, I certainly wouldn't be so trusting as to plaster it here as now the IRS and potential thieves know what you've got.

DK: Thank you! You know you found something special when you are featured on Adventures in Dirt!:occasion14:

Gare: No, just an old Sony Handycam :occasion14:

Hunter1805: When I get them back I'll post them up. Those coins are spoken for already, but if I decide to sell any I'll let you know. My plan for now is to put most of them in a shadow box type display.:occasion14:

Swaveab: I appreciate your concern. The IRS has to fight with my Ex-wives over a cut, so they usually don't bother. :laughing7:

Once again, THANK YOU to all of you for the kind words and congratulations. You all just blow me away!:notworthy:

Congrats Terry, really has me stoked, when those coins were buried or hidden, possibly
in or around the old school or one of it's out buildings, the jar probably had a lid on it
and later on tearing the school down, or possibly even weather events dislodged the lid
and possibly scattered some more coins, i believe that more research and more searching
are in order, did you find out anything about the jar itself, may have a story all it's own.
Anyway great find, hope you have many more BIG SCOTT
