No great shakes but interesting .
One time I was detecting the yard of this old adobe house they were getting ready to demolish. I was doing ok but then noticed a big black dog sniffing around under a bedroom window. I watched and he began to paw the ground and dirt was flying way out back of him. After a while he quit and left and I went over to see what he was after and started seeing coins all over.
I worked the whole area, including the thrown back dirt that also had some coins and finally got about 50. Unfortunately, no silver or oldies of any kind but all denominations were there. I think the cache had been buried under the bedroom window to kind of keep an eye on and the dog smelled it - either the bag it was in or whatever. Steve in so az

there was 343 wheat pennies with a few Canadian cents mixed in the lot. i seen him diggin over by this big tree and all of the sudden he hollerd over to me hoisting this old rotten bag up in the air and i could see coins spilling out of the holes...kinda bummed when i got over there and seen they where pennies,i was expecting it to be silver or somthing...still neat tho...ive got a pic somewhere of him holding that bag up with coins fallin out of it,ill try to find it and scan it and post it.
