Cache Hunting - Discovering A Hoard of Silver Hammered Coins (Story 14)

But because of the sandy soil, I would not be able to move the mound in one piece. So I widened the prospecting pit to the right of the mound and began to slice the mound with my knife. The first slice revealed a few more coins.
