First wife's Great Uncle Clarence Sullivan told of his dad having burried silver coins in jars near fruit trees on his property in I think Peoria Illinois. Clarence had a twin brother that died as a kid from a tornado. He also had a brother and sister but I forgot their names. They have all passed away. I will never get down there and I am not good on research to find the property. Clarence lived on the corner of Snow and another street in Battle Creek Michigan his brother lived in Illinois, his sister lived in Battle Creek. Thats about all I know. Let me know if your research pays off and you find the silver. I am only interested in hearing of your luck. The wife has passed away this year we weren't close after the divorce several years ago, 30 some years ago.
Good luck HHing . I am thinking he said it might be under apple trees. Uncle Clarence got me started metal detecting. By the time I got the Eagle ll I think he was not in good health to go looking.

Some have missed what I was saying: The property with the jars of silver coins is in Peoria Illinois . You would have to research under Clarence Sullivan (if I spelled it right, he lived in Battle Creek before he died on the SW corner of Snow) I don't know what his Dad's name was . I think the property may still be in the family there in Illinois. I am pretty sure it was back in the 1970s. I kind of think my wife's uncle's brother lived on the property but not sure. I can't remember his name. Wish I knew more to help out but that is about it. Other than Great Grandkids all have passed away now. Maybe down to Great Great Grandkids as my x wife died in April this year. Her brother Todd lives in Battle Creek again. The whole family was a interesting bunch as my wife's mother's side was back to an inventor by the last name of Child I think that is the right spelling he built and sold air compressors and other things until a NY compnay bought one and patianted it and he wasn't alloud to make and sell them anymore. Due to a goof up on Todd's part my x mother in law lost the stock holdings nearly $1,000,000. to the church as a living female had to live in the Child's home to keep the stocks. They only had to wait another generation to break the will and sell off the stocks.
