My great grandfather told me he had buried money under an oak tree near his house on his property before he died. He was 90 when he passed and said it was his lifes savings. When we finally found it and dug it up he had indeed buried his lifes savings there. A grand total of about 80 bucks in silver dollars. We are talking about a man who never had running water or electricity and he died in 1995. A simple man that lived a simple life. Every thing he needed the lord provided and he was one of the happiest men I have ever met.
O'yea the good 'ol days before man polluted the earth. Life may have been hard but simple, uncomplicated...no tv, cell phones, computers, just you and the Lord, simple!
wayne toney,. Thank's for sharing your great hunting expedition,. What would we all do without today's technology...thanks for having your GoPro out.. good team work.
My uncle never just stabbed at the silver coins he found, that's doing it half assed. He first used a hatchet and then blow torch them a bit to tenderize, before a strong finish with a sander. Don't go half way with just stabbing at them coins.
Yup, Reminds me of the time when me and grand-pappy buried about 50 gold coins. He said to bury gold because everything else corrodes away. Sure enough... 50 years later and they were still shinny.
Db Parrish that must have been fun unburying all those gold coins, must be worth a fortune. I guess grand-pappy wasn't interested in cashing them in before he left this earth.
SORRY ABOUT AUDIO!!! THE VIDEO WAS FILMED WITH GO PRO,, AND BECAUSE IT WAS RAINY THAT DAY,, IT WAS IN A WATERPROOF HOUSING!!!! AND ALSO,,, THE CACHE WAS ORIGINALLY IN A 5 GALLON GLASS WATER BOTTLE. THAT'S HOW THE 2 PAPER BILLS STAYED , SOMEWHAT, DRY.
A round up of what you got would've been nice. And who in their right mind would shove a sharp object into a plastic jar of valuable coins. You people must be new at coin hunting!
Watch explination of the dig,,,, it will give value,,,,,, and yes ,,, stabbing container was very reckless,, even though, we were pretty sure it was modern clad coins.
Be careful with those shovels. Those coins could be worth something to a collector beyond it's metal or denomination value. And don't rub the dirt off. Wash off. And I CAN'T believe you jabbed the coins with a shovel! AAAhh!
Modern us coins have virtually no collectors value..... The only thing they are worth is precious metals value pre 1980s since after that they don't even have precious metals in them anymore. Pennies are made from junk zinc alloys now and are worthless. They are only worth a cent because the government still gives them artificial value. Only US coins worth anything beyond metal value are confederate civil war coins, silver dollars, and real copper pennies very few if any are going to be hanging around in a coin horde buried in a back yard.
The poster wrote a reply in all-caps, studded with multiple adjoining commas. What the fuck do you think he knows about coin care and preservation? lol
Lonewolf6565 Coins made in and prior to 1964 are true metal copper penny nickle nickle silver dime silver quarter. Face value a few hundred dollars metal value a few thousand. '64' Was one hell of a year in history.
Thats exactly why I tried the GoPro and sent it back. I wanted to use it at DIV and without audio or faint audio it's not very useful. What a hunt opportunity!
Why? All the buried objects were in jugs, bottles, or PVC pipe! Mr Lewis had broken off the nick of the bottle with his own little trencher attachment on his small tractor. That is why so many loose coins. The vast majority of the 5 gallon jug was intact, just the neck was broken off. We scooped them out of the broken jug and put them in the wheelbarrow.
So they just dug a hole and threw a bunch of coins straight into the DIRT? I think we'd all be shocked if we only knew what was actually buried underneath us at any given location...
I'm speechless! Not at the find, as awesome as it was. I'm SPEECHLESS that one of you guys started stabbing that jug with a sharp metal digger! I yelled at my screen... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (Subbed anyway! Lol - GREAT FIND guys!!!)
Only one glass jug, a 5 gallon one. It was broken by the owner using his own little small 'cigging attachment on his small tractor. But, 'all the glass jars' did break!
They probably weren't ALL silver. They did mention some dates in the early '70s here, and the people that buried it had been doing so over a number of years which likely included caches between then and when they passed. That being said though, there is a good chance a large percentage of the dimes, quarters, and halves were indeed silver (nickles were never silver and are rarely worth more than face.) as the older coins in circulation in the mid 70's (when plastic milk jugs became common) would have been in the right range.
Estimated with 5 of the 7 locations dug, about $22.000 of silver. He told us he found the spot under the bird bath and it had 2000 silver quarters in each bag and a 2 lb silver bar. There were two bags like that.
Hollee, the money was buried in a five gallon glass bottle. the video shows the top of the jar at the first of the dig. The bills where weather damaged, and probably not of great value, due to that fact. But, they where siver certificates from 1935. The coins, however, where from the range of 50s---70s. Mr. Evans received all that we found, so the value of that find is still unknown to us.
no chance that any silver coin would appear silver after that amount of time, leaving a silver coin exposed to air for even a month would make it many times more tarnished than you see there.
sebastionay lol, you obviously know nothing about silver coins in the ground. do you detect? silver coins come out of the ground 95 times out of 100 looking like silver
I actually have a large silver coin collection. If I leave a coin outside of the airtight case then it will go black/green in a couple of months. Silver tarnishes very fast and it tarnishes black. seems that you know very little.
Silver in the ground has no air hitting it! That's the difference. I have many silver coins and I have dug many silver coins out of the ground. I know the process and I know what a silver coin coming out of the ground looks like. watch my cache video on my page. I found a 480 silver coin cache and I've found many silver coins on live digs that you can clearly see how they come out of the ground
So it's was buried above ground, on a mound, next to a small tree as a marker. The coins and bills aren't old and found within 30 ' of a house, in a driveway. Dont apologize for the audio, but for staging this charade. Did you get enough of your ill-gotten viewers.
Treasure hunting is great.. But when you find something please, call someone who knows what they are doing instead of hacking away at it with shovels.. its the nations heritage you are uncovering.. call a university or an archeologist .. 'Diggers' like this do more harm then good... The JAR this stuff was in was probably worth more then the coins in it.. But these guys have no training .. all they are missing is a neck tattoos... Also.. Just so every digger is aware of the law.. when and if you find something.. if you destroy it just to get at the goodies inside you will go to jail.. If its something important and you just hack at it cause youre uneducated in this field.. then ignorance is not an excuse for destroying an artifact... CHEERS
Try reading the description numb-nut... This was money caches that his in-laws buried and they were digging up, Not some ass-hat national treasure. How did people get so fucking lazy that they cant even read anymore and have to jump to some far out conclusion just to make a point that nobody cars about?
You don't find "neck tattoos" to be an accurate reflection of an upstanding citizen's integrity, self-respect, and honesty?? How else can one know for sure that another is trustworthy without being able to read it all over their face or neck?? Barbed/razor-wire around the eye sockets is a badge of honor and should be given due respect.
Oh shut up, finder's keepers is a natural law. What do you expect him to do? Turn it over to the government? He probably had enough of that on tax day.
Thats an amazing hoard of silver american coins, Makes me remember the first I Found in 1995 in the western part of the Island, 8 full mason jars filled with seated,barber and indian cents,v-nickels in the first five jars and the last three filled with seated and barbers half any of the coins were after 1910 and more than 100 spanish pre 1898 silver coins...
Awesome find is that you guys from metal detecting stuff? If it is I bought a at pro from you guys in July and love it. Congrats on the find of a lifetime.

easelybadboy: Hey that's a great story, I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing that!
I'll bet he had more than that y'all just didn't dig deep enough
There's no way those dollars lasted that long in dirt
Wayne Toney you were right! It's too bad someone used this video without your permission. Glad I found the original! Have a great day :)
Stabbing the milk jug over and over with a shovel...My jaw dropped further and further with every stab.
😂
wayne toney,.
Thank's for sharing your great hunting expedition,.
What would we all do without today's technology...thanks for having your GoPro out..
good team work.
There is no reason why that hole could not have been a lot bigger, you just made the job harder. Not very smart.
Geeeze Louise somebody call the newspaper and stop the presses weve got ourselves a HOLE expert here.
Edmond Dentese LOL..=D
Edmond Dentese
I lol'd so hard, well played.
Totally agree. And they probable screwed up a bunch of good coins. Bunch of knuckle draggers.
Just having some fun with you guys. Have a good time.
My uncle never just stabbed at the silver coins he found, that's doing it half assed. He first used a hatchet and then blow torch them a bit to tenderize, before a strong finish with a sander. Don't go half way with just stabbing at them coins.
+Self Stirring Pot Your uncle had the right attitude.If you're gonna do it,do it right.
Yup, Reminds me of the time when me and grand-pappy buried about 50 gold coins. He said to bury gold because everything else corrodes away. Sure enough... 50 years later and they were still shinny.
DB, as far as I know, gold is one of the few minerals that will not corrode.
Db Parrish that must have been fun unburying all those gold coins, must be worth a fortune. I guess grand-pappy wasn't interested in cashing them in before he left this earth.
SORRY ABOUT AUDIO!!! THE VIDEO WAS FILMED WITH GO PRO,, AND BECAUSE IT WAS RAINY THAT DAY,, IT WAS IN A WATERPROOF HOUSING!!!!

Crazy amount of coins

boy that's nice ! great find boys👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Be careful with those shovels. Those coins could be worth something to a collector beyond it's metal or denomination value. And don't rub the dirt off. Wash off.
And I CAN'T believe you jabbed the coins with a shovel! AAAhh!
I wish you could have their backs !
My feelings exactly....

REALY nice find guys.

Thats exactly why I tried the GoPro and sent it back. I wanted to use it at DIV and without audio or faint audio it's not very useful.
What a hunt opportunity!
very cool video that one way to inherit your inheritance
That is a crazy amount to find in a single cache!
Damn! Now the privately owned Internal Revenue "Service?" knows about your discovery.
lowerastral exactly. Z.O.G. is the enemy
I'm speechless...way to go, that's a killer cache.
nice find you got there
Wow! Congratulations on the find!
if you guys had a quarter inch screen sifter it would make things so much easier
I was thinking the same thing .
oneenigma4u The audio is terrible, but I thought I heard a comment asking for 1/4 inch screen.
Yeah I heard it after I posted .
Why? All the buried objects were in jugs, bottles, or PVC pipe! Mr Lewis had broken off the nick of the bottle with his own little trencher attachment on his small tractor. That is why so many loose coins. The vast majority of the 5 gallon jug was intact, just the neck was broken off. We scooped them out of the broken jug and put them in the wheelbarrow.
Great Hunt! Good Luck in the future.
At 12:10, the professional archeologist intervenes to unseal the historical artifact: RRRRIIIIPPPP, GAAASSSHHHH, TEARRRRRrrrrr
Incredible find, congrats and hats off to you fellas.DD...
So they just dug a hole and threw a bunch of coins straight into the DIRT?
I think we'd all be shocked if we only knew what was actually buried underneath us at any given location...
+Mike Hawk NO, there was some type of container with glass that was apparently broken over the years.
+Mike Hawk theres soil burried under your feet didnt u know
Bravo, this is a real treasure! I am mostly military relics of the First World War. Good luck to the team!
How much did it come in at?
It would be fun to hear your tally. The coins looked large. Were they mainly silver dollars? What else? Great video!
Why does it seem Only One Guy is working hard while the others just look ? He must of been promised a cut LOL

sounds like someone works for the gubberment
a bit like some of the guys i work with!
LOL
Very nice recovery, fellows...audio is not that bad...and the video and camera work is excellent!
Jesus, stabbing at the Archeology with a metal blade! Easy boys! Congratulations!
I'm speechless! Not at the find, as awesome as it was. I'm SPEECHLESS that one of you guys started stabbing that jug with a sharp metal digger! I yelled at my screen... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (Subbed anyway! Lol - GREAT FIND guys!!!)
If this is real what happened to there 1/4" screen boxes which would make it a lot easier to go thru that dirt and sift out the coins from the dirt.
WOW! That's a metal detectorists dream right there!
That $77,000 coin with the BIG horrendously deep scrape down the reverse side!!!! Oooops, I is a pro!
Somebody say camel toe?
Chizl Swizl cameltoe
you rae the best.
I don't know would not the ground be more compact? Soil the way that thay are digging it dose seem to good to be true
it was sand, southeast Texas.
i agree, if you had some sifters it would make things ALOT easyer ! mite want to build some for future projects.
Amazing that all the glass jars broke.
Only one glass jug, a 5 gallon one. It was broken by the owner using his own little small 'cigging attachment on his small tractor. But, 'all the glass jars' did break!
Many critics. Congrats on your find !
This was very painful to watch
Chief Likeabull - I'd agree with you but I just kept fast forwarding. It took me one minute to watch this.
shoveling and tossing to the side without sifting, amateurs.
wow nice that you could help them find this.
some coins look way to clean to be buried a long time
exactly
You definitely need a wood framed hardware cloth screen to sift all the coins out. Good job on the treasure hunt.
back then the coins where real silver remember they are worth the weight in silver all of the coins
They probably weren't ALL silver. They did mention some dates in the early '70s here, and the people that buried it had been doing so over a number of years which likely included caches between then and when they passed. That being said though, there is a good chance a large percentage of the dimes, quarters, and halves were indeed silver (nickles were never silver and are rarely worth more than face.) as the older coins in circulation in the mid 70's (when plastic milk jugs became common) would have been in the right range.
cyborggold war time nickels did contain silver. They all had their mint mark above Monticello, so your statement is incorrect.
cyborggold '42-'45 nickels contained silver
glohstr1 the ww2 nickels were 40% silver
I have watched many video's in the rain & there wasn't any problems with audio
The dude should have got a metal box for about $3.00
This is great. A little jealous lol good job guys
I bet that was such an amazing day
Who keeps it? How much is all that worth?
Estimated with 5 of the 7 locations dug, about $22.000 of silver. He told us he found the spot under the bird bath and it had 2000 silver quarters in each bag and a 2 lb silver bar. There were two bags like that.
That's jaw dropping right there😱😨
Great now watch the State & the IRS come for their cut! BOZOS
somebody gottapay for the war
awesome find! Would be a nice thing to run across out in the woods!!
Paper bills also. Just dump it in the dirt. Odd.
Wooohoooo ! Very impressive.
After as little as 6 months the paper should have decomposed? Fake??
U.S. Paper money is not made from paper, it is made from Linen with other additives to make it last and if dry will not fall apart or rot,
Its not going to stay dry underground unless it is a dry desert?
It was in a jar that broke when dug up. The mass of coins sure was not fake and why go to the trouble to do a fake.
***** Ok fine, I was just saying that it seemed strange to find bills in the dirt, if you say it could be expected of US dollars then fine.
Hollee, the money was buried in a five gallon glass bottle. the video shows the top of the jar at the first of the dig. The bills where weather damaged, and probably not of great value, due to that fact. But, they where siver certificates from 1935. The coins, however, where from the range of 50s---70s. Mr. Evans received all that we found, so the value of that find is still unknown to us.
WOW, thats a HUGE detector!
stop messin with the mic jesus Christ
So how much you reckon it all added up to? I saw lots of small denomination coins there.
PAYDIRT!!!
Great finds! Good thing they were not valuable coins! Build a sifter and go to town. good luck with the rest of the caches.
not enoght for even a pizzza and a tip..gimme my 13:04 BACK CREEP !!!!!!!
Norbert Kamysz period much...
Norbert Kamysz huh a 1892 v nickel in perfect condition is worth 300$ oh and you are on your period just sayin ya overreactive emo bitch
Norbert Kamysz You do know I am Canadian, right?
Norbert Kamysz Oh the irony... "sandy fuckin country and ride your camels you ignorant fuck"
Norbert Kamysz You're an idiot.
the old dude with the shovel... where did u did him up from?
I think this is all fake, the soil is too lose to be real...
no chance that any silver coin would appear silver after that amount of time, leaving a silver coin exposed to air for even a month would make it many times more tarnished than you see there.

Much of that silver was in jar full of air.
LOOKS TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE CONSIDERING THE STUFF WAS UNPROTECTED IN WET SAND!!!
So it's was buried above ground, on a mound, next to a small tree as a marker. The coins and bills aren't old and found within 30 ' of a house, in a driveway. Dont apologize for the audio, but for staging this charade. Did you get enough of your ill-gotten viewers.
Plastic jug? Styrofoam in 1935? Bullshit Fake ass video.
Who said it was buried in 1935? Didn't the Dixie Chicks sing a song about you?
No telling how many rare coin versions there are in that pile?! I'd have to check every single coin!
And, it's a wonder there wasn't more paper money!
Treasure hunting is great.. But when you find something please, call someone who knows what they are doing instead of hacking away at it with shovels.. its the nations heritage you are uncovering.. call a university or an archeologist ..

Nice work guys! Congrats!
Need a sifter of some kind. It would help seems like. Great find congratulations.
Always fun to find some coins! Thanks for the video.
Thats an amazing hoard of silver american coins, Makes me remember the first I Found in 1995 in the western part of the Island, 8 full mason jars filled with seated,barber and indian cents,v-nickels in the first five jars and the last three filled with seated and barbers half any of the coins were after 1910 and more than 100 spanish pre 1898 silver coins...
Soil always looks so easy to dig in American vids!
i am with you on that wow! wow!
WOW, that's a lot of change
this is so cool ever!spot on guys!!
very cool find and video ,shame about the sound ,next time replace the waterproof back with an open one for better sound.
Very cool, such a massive horde of coins :)
holy crap. im speechless.
Nice movie best regards Joop Visser from Holland.
I do my hobby metal detecting almost 45 years.
Awesome find is that you guys from metal detecting stuff? If it is I bought a at pro from you guys in July and love it. Congrats on the find of a lifetime.
Well done,did you end up giving it back to the family?
WoW Nice!!
Incredible!!
AMAZING! CONGRATS!
Incredible find.

Good job!!
so how much money was there in the first & how much in the second hunt
