Unbelievable Discovery: Massive Silver Treasure Unearthed While Metal Detecting!

Ойын-сауық

Here is a video of me digging a coin spill from the river with my Garrett AT Pro. In this video, I have recovered 178 silver coins dating from 1837 and before from this site. Sorry about all of the "check it out"s in the video, but I was just a tad excited. Be sure to check out the end of the video if you get too bored to make it all the way through. UPDATE See my video "Aquachigger's Cache..." for up close photos of every coin.

    Apparently in 1837 there was a banking system crisis. Many banks went under. The following from Wikipedia: "The Panic of 1837 was a financial crisis in the United States that touched off a major recession that lasted until the mid-1840s. Profits, prices and wages went down while unemployment went up. Pessimism abounded during the time. The panic had both domestic and foreign origins. Speculative lending practices in western states, a sharp decline in cotton prices, a collapsing land bubble, international specie flows, and restrictive lending policies in Great Britain were all to blame. On May 10, 1837, banks in New York City suspended specie payments, meaning that they would no longer redeem commercial paper in specie at full face value. Despite a brief recovery in 1838, the recession persisted for approximately seven years. Banks collapsed, businesses failed, prices declined, and thousands of workers lost their jobs." I suspect that what you found was either the private stash of an individual attempting to protect his money from going down with the local bank or a banker attempting to save some of a bank's specie (coin) from its depositors. Something must have happened to the person stowing the money otherwise he would have come back to retrieve it. Perhaps he was hung by his unhappy depositors. And it could have been the stash of a thief. All of this is speculation of course. Very interesting stuff.

    Creeks were Horse Highways back then and when water was high,even a horse would slip and dunk trying to cross. Rivers people travelled on raft to start new life and water high even tiny bend one would get moving to fast and run into the corner and lose everything. Homes robbed,maybe native American attack and Indians had no use so would chuck... My area native Held even in 1840''s, in spots they camped but prior it was their land...White eyes junk mattered not to them. In fields between Maryland and Penna,can find spots where settlers traded with Colonials and coppers were not shiny so would get tossed in the dirt.. Darn amazing!!!!.....This guy hit epic jackpot with numismatic value has to be $50k graded... would love to know...

They wanted Hyde,salt,material, blankets The little they "use",sure would not waste trade items on them when can get themselves or in trading with other tribes who did not even value it when was within they're range. Gold and Silver was still all over back then,did not even need to be mined in many locations. There were more important items they wanted,were not caring about soft metal to them they could get to easy.

    ***** At 9:45 it IS a Portuguese coin, you can see perfectly the armillary sphere and the Infante D.Henrique Cross or Portuguese crist cross behind the armillary sphere, those are national Portuguese symbols and at the 9:58 in the other side of the coin you have the coat of arms of Portugal Kingdom. AWESOME

    ***** one thing you get right, it has something to do with Brasil, it was the imperial Portuguese used in Brasil, since Brasil was a Portuguese colonie. It sais in Latin "Joannes dg Port et alg p Regens et Bras" what means in Portuguese "João Rei de Portugal, Algarves e Brasil" translated to English is "John King of Portugal, Algarves and Brazil". D.João VI or King John the sixth (call it whatever you want) was the Portuguese King in 1815, the date in the coin. Check it www.google.pt/search?q=joannes+dg+port+et+alg+p+regens&biw=1366&bih=667&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=dBfAVNHGH8yuU5eXgYgB&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ Glad you like it

    It actually IS Brazilian. It was minted in Brazil. Something interesting about these "960 Reis" coins is that almost all of them were minted over 8 Reales coins.If you take a closer look at it you'll notice some traces of an 8 Reales mint in it.
