This is not the thread for that. There is a thread/forum for cache hunting.

My oldest coin came from a park in New Orleans LA. It was a 1797 2 reale Mexico City mint. It was about 8-9 inches deep. I can take you to exactly where I found it too, it seems that I can remember where I found all my old or first finds i.e. first barber first seated etc.

Exactly!, Thats the way it is with me........................HH
