Cache Hunting - My Best Finds
Cache Of Hammered Silver Coins From 16th Century
This was certainly a breathtaking discovery! I still feel "butterflies" in my stomach every time I remember that fantastic moment which took place in a hay field somewhere in the St. Petersburg region, Russia. As usual, it happened when I less expected it, I just followed my intuition.
The cache contained over 350 silver coins hammered during the rule of the tzar Ivan IV (Ivan The Terrible), from 1533 to 1584. They represented three coin denominations, 1 Polushka, 1 Denga, and 1 Kopek, and three Russian Mints which operated in the cities of Moscow, Novgorod, and Tver.
My Share Of Coins
All coins were equally divided between me and other two treasure hunters. My full story can be read on Discovery Of Silver Coin Cache page.
