I buried a roll of wheat cents in a plastic tube and wrapped in foil in the backyard of my aunts house 50 years ago. Maybe somebody will find it someday.
There's still a hoard of $5.00 in clad Kennedy's on my property which I seeded for my son to find with his metal detector once the snow clears.
Remind me of this time I buried a 1963-d Lincoln to see how the signal would change on my metal detector over time. I went to dig it up a year later and found two 1893-P Barber dimes in AU stuck together. Just coincidentally buried the penny 3 ft. away from them, but for a moment there, it sure looked like a magical patch of ground that turns Lincoln memorial cents into Barbers.

Did you dig these up? That has to be a couple grand in Bust halves.

Not to be sarcastic or anything, but do those look like dug coins?

Look on the internet for the special "hoard" slabs, and bid on the story!
