Discovery of Hammered Silver Coins Cache

Successful Cache Hunting

Later in the evening, my other treasure hunting buddies came back from their WW2 dig. Unfortunately, they arrived empty-handed and totally exhausted. I surprised them with my finds but we all were too tired to talk about it. We set up our camp and went to sleep.

DAY 2

Our Camp (Treasure) Site In the Morning

Our Camp Site

On Thursday morning, Vasily and Andrei returned from the city to continue the search. We started digging a square hole (1 yard by 1 yard) at the "hottest" spot where the most hammered coins were recovered on previous day. Other treasure hunters began appearing at the site as if they knew that something was going on.

Digging Up the Coin Cache

After we deepened the hole 2.5 shovel blades down, we scanned the soil inside, and received a big signal! Suddenly our adrenalin levels went skyrocketing when we took a shovel load of dirt out of the hole and saw this…

Silver Coins In the Dirt!

One Of Those Pleasant Moments

Handful of Dug Silver Coins

We investigated the hole more and finally noticed the cluster of silver coins on the bottom! "Is this for real?!", we thought in disbelieve. The coins were stacked on top of each other!

A Cache!
