That is so awesome, thanks for sharing it! I hope someone on here finds a hoard worth loads of cash, I guess we've all got a better chance than most peope.... If I find my fortune I'll throw a big party and invite all you guys so we can all meet up, have a Detect together, then party!!

I'm on my way, I volunteer to help! No pay require, just the Pure Pleasure. Lets make the dream come true.
I'd go and dig my back yard, but I have already done that and the only people here were the Indians and a few boat builders in the neighborhood.

Hope I can make it to the national money show in Atlanta this Saturday. I want to see these coins. I plan to drive up and back the same day and know I will be exhausted, but it will be great if I can stay until 4 pm when they close the show. Anybody heading that way from our forums, the show opens to the public at 10 am and Saturday is a free day.

Hopefully the government won't find an excuse to take it from them.

If they found these coins on their property, it should be finders keepers, losers weepers. If you buy a piece of property in good faith, everything on that property should belong to you, not some descendants of the previous owners.
