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.

Well Done! I once found a cache of coins in a dirtbasement in old house, 2 barbers quarters, 1 barber half, 2 walkers, 2 ben franklins,5 kennedys,8 morgan dollars, 4 peace. I know how it feels, once in a lifetime ....Congrats on some old silvers ! Happy Hunting !

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 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!!!

Wow! What a amazing find, besides the coins the box is gorgeous itself. I just ordered a metal detector yesterday and seeing videos like this makes me even more anxious to start hunting. 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

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.

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!

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!

I live in Bakersfield ca. Around here you got to keep your eye out for any place to hunt. I drive around searching for spots, but if your not on top of it you will lose all the good finds most of the time. Though I have found some good stuff, it just harder to come across in this town and surrounding communities. I have met some good people and I been detecting for 16 years and its just great to view this video for inspiration. Just dont keep that detector in the house, get out and use it.ZipZip

...I live in an area that was settled in the early 1800's,even had a civil war battle fought just a few miles from my house. Yet,when i try to find information on this or locations of old schools and such at my local library.I come up empty. I know all of these finds you see here on YT are a result of a great deal of home work but,it's kinda hard to do any home work when you cant find any study guides!

Its not about getting rich with money, it is about the finds themselves & the history. I do Civil War reenacting & part of my living history programs I let kids hold camp finds that will take them back to that time. We love to disoplay and educate with our finds. As a matter of a fact, were are a few months from the printing of a book our club has been working on for the last 10 years with relics we have found on the coastal area of South Carolina and Georgia as they relate to the CIvil War.

Yeah, be careful w/the coins. i was doing a yard and got a 1909 S. I was real tempted to wipe it to see any VDB but waited to get home. Cleaned it very carefully. Yup! 1909 S VDB! Unfortunately, ground acids had pitted it. So, it's only worth $450. My most valuable coin found, tho! Same yard gave up a Walking Liberty 1/2 dollar. 9 of those, so far.

@Pupsqueak3 they were worn when they were put there. A silver coin can sit in the ground for 200 years and still look as good when you dig it up as the day it was dropped.

None of the coins were a rare date, but the find as whole is a great find! Mike did keep those, he keeps all his finds and it will be in a book we are publishing due out next year on Relics of Coastal South Carolina and Georgia, The Civil War Years.

Actually, we made a return trip to the site at the beginning of this year and found a house site a few hundred yards away from where the cache was found. The relics from the site dates it to around the late 1800's to the early 1900's so that would explain the extreme wear to the coins if that is who cached it.

It's videos like this one, that prompted me to order my first metal detector! I just ordered a Minelab X-Terra 705 and it will be here on Monday. I am definitely pumped to delve as deeply into this hobby as possible, in hopes of finding something even half as cool as your find. I am from Illinois and I am hoping that I will come across some interesting sites to dig. Only time will tell. Best wishes and keep on diggin!
