I've always dreamed of making a find like that. When I was doing that all I ever found was small change, pocket knives, keys, one earring and on a certain school playground, live cartridges.
It's a great hobby and good finds are still out there.

The coins were buried in a large jar about a foot (30 centimeters) deep and weighed about 160 kilograms (350 pounds) in all.
Wow, wow, wow!

They are indeed still out there to be found, I`ll get the Hummer gassed up that Tombstone advised me to buy and off we go!:driving:
