Awesome find...

Wow

Yep...........I saw the article, too. You kidding me? Makes me itching to get past the thaw here in northern Indiana.

I just want to quote this...


" The pair are choosing to remain anonymous, Kagin said, in part to avoid a renewed gold rush to their property by modern-day prospectors armed with metal detectors "


My guess is that everyone else that sees this and is a non detector will presume if we ask anyone for permission to detect their property they will think they have a large sum on money....


Also more people getting detectors that only care about the money and not have pride like we all do with out hobby.



Great find for the people but i can see this not being so good for us.

They have a picture of one of the cans on this site:

I feel your pain, I'm in Chicago and haven't been out in months...Please sun warm our ground!!!

 

[Dark Chameleon]

Geesh, you can even bury your stuff anymore without someone finding it...where's the fun in that?

 

[Philbyfile]

Just read this.....after I wiped the tears away....I scolded my MD for not being more sensitive to my needs.

 

[Perquimans]

Unbelievable!!!! Why doesn't this ever happen to me

 

[MadTownScoop]

"Cleveland" I failed to completely read the article so I missed the part about chronological order. Yeah, someone was planting those for future indeed. Wonder if some past owners of the property will try and claim their long lost (insert relative here) had reportedly buried some coins many years ago. Glad those people are trying to stay private.

Secondly. The part about not wanting "modern day gold rush with metal detectors" Anyone who watches "Diggers" will just run scared when they see us swinging thinking we gonna go crazy if we find a dime. Bet those coin finders have seen that show and thats why they are scared.

So, should we trade in our detectors and start walking the dog?

[LordOfTheZincs]

I always tease my dog about being a treasure dog but so far he's only found a nasty old scarf. Guess we need to go waking more.......

Alright everyone check trees base for iron signals!!!!

 

[H2O ADDICTION]

Alright everyone check trees base for iron signals!!!!

I ALWAYS hone right in on any ancient oak trees or large cedars when out detecting on any public or private lands, and when in the woods too It's proven to be good for finding silver for me!

WOW What a great story! I hope they don't get clipped too bad by the IRS.

Just finished the pcgs article. PCGS got all 1,411 gold coins authenticated and graded. It took almost a year to do it. These were found last February! No way I could stay quiet that long! Holy cow!

 

[J. Rush]

Now thats some real luck there. And it sounds like thye are doing the right thing with them to.

 

[~Alan~]

Wow !!

It will be interesting to know what they finally go for.
I suspect it will be considerably less than £10 million ?
