I have been metal detecting for 25 years, and currently hunt with an E-trac. Point being, I am very serious about the hobby. I hope you realize what a "once in a life time" experience this was and savor it for a long, long time. That was one incredible find! I congratulate you for doing what most of us will only ever dream of! Tim (deepbeeps)

No doubt about the authenticity of this stuff... Refreshing to see a real find... Too many suspicious metal detector"finds" on KZread... Thanks for the real thing.

I call b.s.

Sometimes I'm speachless at finds like this. Great job...

that is the BEST detecting video I have seen on youtube, I could FEEL the excitement and could not take my eyes off the video! congrats

absolutely amazing! you full on found somebody's life savings. I am way more curious as to why the person (or family) decided to hide all their money in the ground like that. Each one of those coins was considered such an amazing amount of money even back in their own time, from the 1820's and even all throughout the following 130-140 years afterward! Very encouraging to someone like me, all my love for American history and digging at large, often aimlessly, haha. Congrats!

We got permission about a year later to return to the site. Though the are was riddle with Civil War action, we did find a turn of the century (around 1900's) housesite about 500 yards from that area we awere pounding. My guess is those occupants had buried it in a field for safekeeping and who knows the rest of the story.

That is an excellent video for several reasons: 1.) A truly sweet old cache! 2.) a beautiful container. 3.) the spontaneity of being "in" at the discovery. Thanks for sharing that perfect video. I wish you continued success!

I was smiling and breathing heavy through the whole video...outstanding!!!

Well Done! I once found a cache of coins in a dirtbasement in old house, 2 barbers quarters, 1 barber half, 2 walkers, 2 ben franklins,5 kennedys,8 morgan dollars, 4 peace. I know how it feels, once in a lifetime ....Congrats on some old silvers ! Happy Hunting !

Wow, that's the stuff dreams are made of! Congratulations on your incredible find!

Awesome find!!! That silver case in which those coins were stored is much more interesting as its content ;)

Congrats, on a great find. Just imagine the possible travels those coins were on, the things they bought, the debts they paid, the fights they started, only about 150 years ago. Great job in shooting the video, keeping the camera close and still and taking care to show everything slowly. Damn, now I got to buy a metal detector.

I beg to differ sir! Number one, silver does not rust to each other! Number two , that was a solid silver snuff box which even had silver hinge pins. It is the belief of an antiquarian who examined it, that snuff box may date from the mid to late 1700's and is probably worth more the the combined value of the coins. I wish it were me that dug it, but I was honored to be present when he did dig it and be a part of revealing the contents. Heck, we thought it was a belt plate of some sort at first

This is once in a life time find! Congrats!

Great video of a great time, finding a cache (or hoard as we say in england) is a rare & special time that gets everyone excited, well done & good luck.

Awesome job !!!!Thats an amazing find!! Thx for sharing that video!

Wow! What a amazing find, besides the coins the box is gorgeous itself. I just ordered a metal detector yesterday and seeing videos like this makes me even more anxious to start hunting. I live in the Dust bowl area so plenty of people buried their money during the depression of the 30s. Though I anticipate finding many of the bane of hunters, pull tabs. XD

Awesome find if I had found something similar here on England I would have been smiling for weeks!

That is so awesome this is the kind of thing we all hunt for and most of us never find congratulations my friend

Lucky find! both on the coins and the case! Lovely bunch of things!

Awesome! I hope for a cache like that someday! Congrats!

Lovely moment! and to record the live event! great stuff!

Amazing. Congrats. You kept your composer well.

Wow, what an awesome find. Congrats!

OUTSTANDING!!!.. congrats, inspiration to me to buy my 1st detector

Nice find, thanks for sharing it with us.

This is inspiring. Congratulations!

Oh man! sooo Sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, Mr. Phillips. I'm David from So. Oregon. I was detecting where this '20's or so house was razed. Found about 135 new cents, mostly zinc, all in one area about 10' X 10'. Imagine my surprise when out popped a quarter. I saw Ms. Liberty sittin' there. I got woozy. It's an 1870. I see "CC" and think, "Carson City? This is gonna be a couple hundred $ coin!" Get home. Sittin on da john looking at Red Book. "$17,000!" Got offered $13,500 from coin store. True story. Happened last July. Auction!!!

Mike, what an incredible find !!!!

That 56 seated half looks especially beautiul. Silver does great even in the ground.

questo è il ritrovamento piu' bello che ho visto con il metal........ complimenti il video è gia' nei miei preferiti ciao

That hole looked deep... and, by chance, I just picked up a Cibola myself.. Thanks for Sharing this Great Video!..

That was an amazing find!! What a piece of history...

What a great find. Congratulations.

great find!! I The find of a lifetime, very rare. Makes me want to go out and hunt right now!

Nice find congratulations :) thanks for sharing it with us all

What a great find! Congratulations!!! :-D

Amazing find!

Very nice find! I was wondering how a belt buckle would get that far deep in the ground. Seeing it was a small cache of coins, I wonder if it was buried there purposefully. I'd research the property too to see if the initials at the bottom of the container matched a previous landowner from that era. Just for historical documentation of course! Finders keepers!

Maaaan this is just what its all about now isn't it? You just never know what you are going to find! Congrats man, all these years I bet you still haven't topped it?? Haha

Awesome Finds....Congrats !!

Nice find! Poignant to. I always wonder what the situation was when it was first buried by someone, and sadly never retrieved.

It was cleaned with just water and a toothbrush. Silver holds up good and resists corrosion unless against something that does corrode.

AMAZING FIND... Makes me a little jealous.. Really though Congrats 🍾🎈👍

Awesome find.

Man that is one cool Find. I hope some day I hit on something like it.

Damn that’s old!! Nice score!! Ya lucky SOB!... 🤯🤯

great video, we all dream of finding cache of coins!

Great find ;)

Sorry I have not responded to questions, life is so busy... I forgot what my metal detector looks like! In response to a few questions seen, Mike was using a Tesoro Cibola; value of the coins is not a valuable as the silver container it was found in (est, late 1600's -mid 1700's by antiquarian); and MIke does realize in the after thought that using a knife was not wise... but we were caught up in the moment!

congrats,great find!!!!!!

Good work guys on the extraction

Good find guys!! I would of been screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great finds. is the grand national relic shootout a organized hunt where you have to pay to dig. i would like to go to one with my f75.

Lol this was in my favorites from when I was 12

Awesome find.....I would like to get started in metal detecting here in Arizona, what metal detector would you recommend?

I saw your posting.You do have a valid point.I don't have a metal detector yet,just ordered one.I've seen many,many videos on youtube of people finding old coins and to tell you the truth they all appeared to be in fair condition,many worn down.I can't understand how they all got worn down so much.One would think they'ed be in fine to extra fine condition.I'm not talking about clad coins,older coins like these.I hardly see any older coins in fine condition.Don't understand it.

the case was a awesome find. Thats the whole reason I got into dectecting for hopes of something like that.

ANybody with exp with detecting can plainly see this is a real dig.Congrats guys

would be such and amazing find i live in the uk i would love to go over and do some detecting it looks ace and could tell everyone was shaking with excitement :D nice one pal

Wunderbares Video!

it is kind of strange the coins are in such circulated shape....good find though

What a score ... good job :)

When you got these appraised, what was the value??

Every Detectorist dream to find a cache of coins.

That is a wonderful find!! 😍👌

thanks guys that was great well dune from the uk

Nice find!

Dude you found my coins oh man thats so awesome! I totally lost that when i was camping oh thank The Lord you found my coins!

that is an awsome find!!!

Loved you found that. Avid fan. What did you get value wise. I d never sell but curious.❤

What procedure do you guys use to wash the coins?

None of the coins were a rare date, but the find as whole is a great find! Mike did keep those, he keeps all his finds and it will be in a book we are publishing due out next year on Relics of Coastal South Carolina and Georgia, The Civil War Years.

Wow, what an awesome find. Congrats!

wow great find, my hand would have shook too!

Nice find!

Never get tired of watching this video, always gives me inspiration to get off the computer and go metal detecting.

The guy that found the cache still owns it. Like me, he does not sell items he finds, he diplays and shares them for educational purposes,

How exciting.. I was shaking too and I had nothing to do with it and I wasn't even there.. I sat on my couch watching.. and am grinning from ear to ear... Congrats on a fantastic find!!!! Thanks for allowing us to share in this...

It's what we all dream of when we get a beep from our detectors. What a super great find and video! Thanks for showing us. Wow!

BIG CONGRATS MIKE!! This is one of the all time greats in my book! WOOHOO!!!

what a find!!!!!! a dream come true!!!!!!! thanks for posting!!!!

Now that had to be a heart stopper!!!! Would love to see your story on that!

This is by far the best find I have ever seen on KZread. Congratulations, sir. I am now going to dream of this for months to come. WOW.

Awesome video and find!!! Congrats and thanks for sharing this.

I got excited watching this! Great find and awesome that you captured it!

Congrats Mike, this find is every detectorist dream.

Its finds like this that keeps me digging! That is a find of a life time!

What a spectacular find! I was excited for you as I watched the video!

It was cleaned with just water and a toothbrush. Silver holds up good and resists corrosion unless against something that does corrode.
