Added: We do acknowlege that the use of a knife was a very bad idea. Mike thought it was some sort of plate and called me once he brushed away the dirt to film it's removal. The overwhelming excitement of realizing it was a container and anticipatation of what might be in it took away any calm sensibility.And for those asking, it was found with a Tesoro Cibola. Thanks!
While metal detecting during the Grand National Relic Shootout sponsored by The Treasure Depot, Mike uncovers a cache of coins in the area of a Civil War camp among artillery frags and shells.

I have been metal detecting for 25 years, and currently hunt with an E-trac. Point being, I am very serious about the hobby. I hope you realize what a "once in a life time" experience this was and savor it for a long, long time. That was one incredible find! I congratulate you for doing what most of us will only ever dream of! Tim (deepbeeps)

absolutely amazing! you full on found somebody's life savings. I am way more curious as to why the person (or family) decided to hide all their money in the ground like that. Each one of those coins was considered such an amazing amount of money even back in their own time, from the 1820's and even all throughout the following 130-140 years afterward! Very encouraging to someone like me, all my love for American history and digging at large, often aimlessly, haha. Congrats!

That is an excellent video for several reasons: 1.) A truly sweet old cache! 2.) a beautiful container. 3.) the spontaneity of being "in" at the discovery. Thanks for sharing that perfect video. I wish you continued success!

We got permission about a year later to return to the site. Though the are was riddle with Civil War action, we did find a turn of the century (around 1900's) housesite about 500 yards from that area we awere pounding. My guess is those occupants had buried it in a field for safekeeping and who knows the rest of the story.

Congrats, on a great find. Just imagine the possible travels those coins were on, the things they bought, the debts they paid, the fights they started, only about 150 years ago. Great job in shooting the video, keeping the camera close and still and taking care to show everything slowly. Damn, now I got to buy a metal detector.

I live in the Dust bowl area so plenty of people buried their money during the depression of the 30s. Though I anticipate finding many of the bane of hunters, pull tabs. XD

@ConfederRick 14 жыл бұрын

I beg to differ sir! Number one, silver does not rust to each other! Number two , that was a solid silver snuff box which even had silver hinge pins. It is the belief of an antiquarian who examined it, that snuff box may date from the mid to late 1700's and is probably worth more the the combined value of the coins. I wish it were me that dug it, but I was honored to be present when he did dig it and be a part of revealing the contents. Heck, we thought it was a belt plate of some sort at first

Hey, Mr. Phillips. I'm David from So. Oregon. I was detecting where this '20's or so house was razed. Found about 135 new cents, mostly zinc, all in one area about 10' X 10'. Imagine my surprise when out popped a quarter. I saw Ms. Liberty sittin' there. I got woozy. It's an 1870. I see "CC" and think, "Carson City? This is gonna be a couple hundred $ coin!" Get home. Sittin on da john looking at Red Book. "$17,000!" Got offered $13,500 from coin store. True story. Happened last July. Auction!!!

Very nice find! I was wondering how a belt buckle would get that far deep in the ground. Seeing it was a small cache of coins, I wonder if it was buried there purposefully. I'd research the property too to see if the initials at the bottom of the container matched a previous landowner from that era. Just for historical documentation of course! Finders keepers!

I saw your posting.You do have a valid point.I don't have a metal detector yet,just ordered one.I've seen many,many videos on youtube of people finding old coins and to tell you the truth they all appeared to be in fair condition,many worn down.I can't understand how they all got worn down so much.One would think they'ed be in fine to extra fine condition.I'm not talking about clad coins,older coins like these.I hardly see any older coins in fine condition.Don't understand it.

Sorry I have not responded to questions, life is so busy... I forgot what my metal detector looks like! In response to a few questions seen, Mike was using a Tesoro Cibola; value of the coins is not a valuable as the silver container it was found in (est, late 1600's -mid 1700's by antiquarian); and MIke does realize in the after thought that using a knife was not wise... but we were caught up in the moment!
