Wish the best of luck to you. I personally, found a good sized cash with nickels, dimes, pennies, quarters, half dollars and one silver dollar form 1888. It was in a small silver dish like thing. I know that feeling to find a cache. Keep at it and keep us informed!!

That is really cool.

I found about 55 cents in a rotten
old coin purse. I remember 2 rosies
and a couple nickles and some
wheeties.

Not enough to get real excited about.

But, it was a fun dig for sure.

lvsparky;
Great stuff.

What county (not asking for a pinpoint just a generality,) My great grandfather lived in Iowa and my grandpa was born in Cedar rapids but Great grandpa farmed in Illinois before going to Iowa. By all repute, he was a tightwad, as many may have been, then, not that HE ever buried money.

I heard of one like that, here, but they were hundreds of paper grain cheques, buried in sealers.... not even worth looking for.

Show us a photo.

Geez sparky- that sounds like a fantastic find- I have got to get me one of those old lead top mason jars and fill it with coins to see how my detector will react- Tabdog keeps telling me that the South is loaded- We have just got to find it- heck its just going to waste in the ground anyway- right?

The old jars had zinc scew rings, if they did not have the glass, snap tops. NEVER lead!

I'm a little confused so I hope you can clear this up for me, lvsparky. Did you find the old silver in a mason jar and was it the 50 pieces or is the 50 pieces the treasure cache listed on the map? Congrats on your find! Great

Ken

How many coins are considered a 'cache'?

Wow, just to find an authentic map about a cache would be awesome. Sure adds the extra excitement to the quest! I'm almost more curious as to how the map was found than as to how lucrative the find. Probably much work involved in both. Clapp

Congratulations Sparky, if I had found that kind of cache, I wouldn't be able to contain myself. My most fortunate find that I have considered to be a cache was where I had got a tone....doug up a V-nickle, 3 Indian Heads, and a liberty quarter all within a foot. I supposed someone lost it from a purse, pocket, or just dropped it way back then.

Awsome finds, what fun!

The term cache refers to an item or items secreted in a location for retrieval at a later date. So technically even 1 coin can be a cache if it was purposely hidden say in a mason jar or some type of container or vault.
