- 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!

No doubt about the authenticity of this stuff...
Refreshing to see a real find...
Too many suspicious metal detector"finds" on RUclips...
Thanks for the real thing.
I call b.s.
Sometimes I'm speachless at finds like this. Great job...
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 the BEST detecting video I have seen on youtube, I could FEEL the excitement and could not take my eyes off the video! 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.
Awesome! I hope for a cache like that someday! Congrats!
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
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
Wow, that's the stuff dreams are made of! Congratulations on your incredible find!
That 56 seated half looks especially beautiul. Silver does great even in the ground.
I was smiling and breathing heavy through the whole video...outstanding!!!
Oh man! sooo Sweet. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing. Congrats. You kept your composer well.
Awesome job !!!!Thats an amazing find!! Thx for sharing that video!
This is once in a life time find! Congrats!
Nice find, thanks for sharing it with us.
Great video of a great time, finding a cache (or hoard as we say in england) is a rare & special time that gets everyone excited, well done & good luck.
Wow, what an awesome find. Congrats!
Lovely moment! and to record the live event! great stuff!
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!!!
Lucky find! both on the coins and the case! Lovely bunch of things!
That was an amazing find!! What a piece of history...
Mike, what an incredible find !!!!
This is inspiring. Congratulations!
Nice find congratulations :) thanks for sharing it with us all
Amazing find!
Great find!
That hole looked deep... and, by chance, I just picked up a Cibola myself..
Thanks for Sharing this Great Video!..
Awesome find if I had found something similar here on England I would have been smiling for weeks!
Awesome Finds....Congrats !!
That is so awesome this is the kind of thing we all hunt for and most of us never find congratulations my friend
What a great find! Congratulations!!! :-D
What a great find. Congratulations.
OUTSTANDING!!!.. congrats, inspiration to me to buy my 1st detector
great find!! I The find of a lifetime, very rare. Makes me want to go out and hunt right now!
Awesome find.
Awesome find, Well done guys cool vid cheers
questo è il ritrovamento piu' bello che ho visto con il metal........
complimenti il video è gia' nei miei preferiti
ciao
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!
Great vid!!! Wow you are brave with that knife.
AMAZING FIND !!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!😀😀😀😀
Awesome find!!! That silver case in which those coins were stored is much more interesting as its content ;)
What A awesome find! If I ever found anything like that!
Nice find!
I know Scott Foss. This is a great video! thanks for sharing,
AMAZING FIND... Makes me a little jealous.. Really though Congrats 🍾🎈👍
Dude what a blessing. Im think-en of get-ten into this hobby. I jusr be happy if I find a few pieces of history.
Good find guys!! I would of been screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great find ;)
congrats,great find!!!!!!
ANybody with exp with detecting can plainly see this is a real dig.Congrats guys
What a score ... good job :)
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.
Good work guys on the extraction
It was cleaned with just water and a toothbrush. Silver holds up good and resists corrosion unless against something that does corrode.
Dont use toothbrushes. They cause scratches.
Maaaan this is just what its all about now isn't it? You just never know what you are going to find! Congrats man, all these years I bet you still haven't topped it?? Haha
Nice find! Poignant to. I always wonder what the situation was when it was first buried by someone, and sadly never retrieved.
Boy I would’ve been tangled line for about an hour that is a great find
Damn that’s old!! Nice score!! Ya lucky SOB!... 🤯🤯
thanks guys that was great well dune from the uk
the case was a awesome find. Thats the whole reason I got into dectecting for hopes of something like that.
Wunderbares Video!
That is a wonderful find!! 😍👌
great video, we all dream of finding cache of coins!
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!
Congrats!
Nice keep up the good work.
congratulations . i found a bank with 58 coins in it the oldest was a 1884 s morgan dollar 20 kennedy half dollars 40 % silver a walker a 1964 kennedy . my best find ever
ever since i wa a kid wanted to do that..excellent ty for sharing with us HH
that is an awsome find!!!
Man that is one cool Find. I hope some day I hit on something like it.
that is really awesome! congratss
That's an amazing find. Wouldn't you love to know the story behind that?
WOW!!!!! That is awesome.
...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!
oh wow!! what a find!!
Never get tired of watching this video, always gives me inspiration to get off the computer and go metal detecting.
Wow, what an awesome find. Congrats!
wow great find, my hand would have shook too!
Nice find!
How exciting.. I was shaking too and I had nothing to do with it and I wasn't even there.. I sat on my couch watching.. and am grinning from ear to ear... Congrats on a fantastic find!!!!
Thanks for allowing us to share in this...
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.
It's what we all dream of when we get a beep from our detectors. What a super great find and video! Thanks for showing us. Wow!
The guy that found the cache still owns it. Like me, he does not sell items he finds, he diplays and shares them for educational purposes,
Congrats Mike, this find is every detectorist dream.
Greatest metal detecting video i have ever seen,watched it over and over again,it gives me the chills,makes me want to go out hunting.!!!
Now that had to be a heart stopper!!!! Would love to see your story on that!
what a find!!!!!! a dream come true!!!!!!! thanks for posting!!!!
BIG CONGRATS MIKE!! This is one of the all time greats in my book! WOOHOO!!!
It was cleaned with just water and a toothbrush. Silver holds up good and resists corrosion unless against something that does corrode.
Congrat! What a great find, I am very happy for you. Thank you for posting.
David
Its finds like this that keeps me digging! That is a find of a life time!
Awesome video and find!!! Congrats and thanks for sharing this.
I got excited watching this! Great find and awesome that you captured it!
That was exciting find !!! Thanks for sharing that with us...
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.
