  Yep clothesline poles, under fenceposts, outhouses, wells, fireplaces, baseboards, trees, etc... The list goes on and on. A lot of people would rather hide their nest eggs than to trust it to someone else.

  I'm still looking for all that Dahlonaga gold that is buried around here somewhere, before the "yankees" could get it.

  "Art Cochell dislplays some Mercury dimes and Roosevelt quarters; part of a collection he found burried in a clothes line pole in his backyard."
  
  I'd sure like to see some of the Roosevelt quarters!

  Thats a cool story but you have to wonder where the 1700 dollars in Sacs ended up that the couple paid their taxes with.

  They may not be that expensive, but they sure would be fun to find. Finding anything valuable and unexpected is a rush - just ask any of the metal detecting guys.

  Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my hard drive?

  when I used to work on a drywall hanging crew we would put some current year coins in a little zip lock type bag and nail it inside the studs along with a current magazine or newspaper....simple but fun

  Change is good!
  my other favorite silver

  $150.00 total, yet described as finding the "Motherload" and creating an inheritance for 9 grandchildren. Methinks these need to get sent to PCGS ASAP so they can be branded with a special slab label. Maybe "Grandfatherload" would be appropriate?

  Most of the coins have withstood corrosion and weathering, but with a little washing up, they could be very valuable.

  Could be some type of money laundrying operation.

  Yep! Obviously laundered money!

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
