Got permission today for an old house. Had only found a few wheat pennies in the 20's. Then I got a good signal in the 90's. Pulled out the plug and started finding old coins. Each time I pulled one out I'd check the hole with the pin pointer. After finding 11 coins the hole went dry. I did find curved metal pieces like a rotted lid to something, No glass or other container was found. But all coins were in a hole about the size of a softball at 5-6inches. So thinking they were buried not a pocket spill. Some coins were corroded stuck face to face. SLQ is a 1920. V nickle 1905 1912 dime 1881 IH 1907 IH wheats were 1910-1920.

Great cache/spill! Congrats.

Good Catch Matmit. That is just what it is a small coin purse. Never even came to my mind {whats left of it} that it was a coin purse.

Congratulations and nice job on the coin purse cash. That will definitely be a story that you can tell for a long time to come.
 
Nice find! I bet your heart was thumping as you were pulling coin after coin out of the ground! Congrats!
 
Nice finds. It looks like the coins were in the purse that disintegraded over the years. I had found a similar purse find many years ago, lucky mine was leather and was intact with many silvers inside too. Probably, my one of my favorite finds of all times. Congrats on your great find!
 
What a fantastic find! I would definitely keep the group of coins together with the purse remnants as a display.
 
Wow congratulations on a truly unique and seldom found find.
