When you hear them mention that they think it's a plate at first, that means a Civil War beltplate.

Cool little trove.
All silver including the 3¢ pieces.

The knife kept making me cringe!!! That is how many dug coins get ruined.

Great.. this is what keeps cache hunters going. There was a similar video showing a find in a silver box like that, but it had a couple of gold coins too.... what a thrill... Cheers, RickO

Am I the only one that questions this being real? All the coins are culls or very very low grade. The chances of the coins all being junk quality is kind of odd??

Every time he reached for that stupid knife.....

Cool! I'll have to watch again on a faster connection. YouTube videos are sometimes herkyjerky for me while this creaky ol' 'puter waits to load.

It was just some money someone was saving and it was not sealed airtite and the elements got in. I wouldnt have expected much more.

Yeah - every time there was a little bit of dirt - "OH! Time to get the knife!"

Neat to watch otherwise.

i like how he called them "busted half" and on the list they are written as busted half!

Gread find!

If you look, when he first gets the case open he has to remove a root of some kind that has grown into the case. I'm pretty sure the find is authentic. The case appears to be victorian and was likely burried in the 1870's or 80's which explains the wear on the majority of the coins.
