I love finding the old canning jar lids. Every time I dig one I start to see lots and lots of coins flowing from the dirt!! You never know when you're going to find that big cache!! Me, I've never found one. But, maybe in the future.

the items in the back of the 3rd picture are a box of cigs and an empty cheese and cracker snack pack

I think that is the reason I don't find the cool stuff. Lack of attention to detail!!!

you never know when a fruit jar lid might have a jar full of coins attached

I have only pulled up a jar lid twice. Both times my heart really thumped as I too imagined coins being in a jar. In this area of SE KY suppposedly it was very common for peps to bury what little money they had often. I suppose the same is true of other parts of the country though. All the same it certainly has the heart racing when I pull them out.

A construction site I did where 2 old Barber Halfs came out came from such a coin spill. I found out much later after finding them that 40 years earlier that when they were tearing down the building that used to be there they had dozed one such jar. A while later the person who told me showed me a picture (polaroid so not the greatest) of a big pile of coins. The jar was busted by the dozer, but when they saw half of a jar full of coinage they looked around and came up with a nice collection of halfs, dollars, and other coins. I can only imagine that the 2 halfs found there were reminants of that jar that escaped them during that construction and 40 years later those 2 poped up.

After finding those 2 and hearing of that story I went a bit nuts digging at that area. There was a lot of items that were shaped exactly like can lids all over the grounds of this large construction area. I must have dug up 70 of them or more. Sadly no big coin find. Oh well LOL>

Sad thing is if I could detect right now I would keep diggin em up.

This is a nice site, isn't it?
My wife says that treasure net is my first affair in our 18 year marriage.
I think my detector was the first, and the treasurenet.
I do love those EARLY morning hunts. Just me, my detector, and my flashlight.
There is just something about a crisp tone in the wet grass in the dark.
Yes. I am addicted.

I love finding old pocket knives. Me and my dad hunted around an old house that was being torn down about 30 yrs ago and it was rumoured the old man hid money. We were hunting around an old storage building with a dirt floor and my dad said "come look at this" When I looked over his shoulder he had uncovered an old mason jar that was full of round discs. We couldn't tell what they were and he just sat there for a couple of minutes looking at the jar partially uncovered. He finally pulled it out of the ground by the lid and it was full of old milk bottle caps. Talk about a let down...

Congrats on your finds and have a good one
