:shocked05:All he could say is "holy cow"? I think my video would've been all bleeped out if I found a spill like either one of those.:lipssealed: :lol:
That was fun to watch! Thanks for sharing that with us Ron! :thumbsup01:
I saw this yesterday and sent it to DaddyDigger. (He had already seen it.) It's hard to imagine a hunt better than that, at least here in the states. I would have stroked out! :shocked03: :lol:
I would have been shaking so hard I wouldn't be able to continue after that first coin...then to find GOLD COINS!!!! WOW!!!!
That was AMAZING! Thanks for posting!
I know!!! Those guys were very reserved! There would have been much more colorful speech if I were involved. :lol:Quote:

I watched it on Dig Fellas Fans on facebook right after it was posted, definitely a cache find of a lifetime :D
Idk Drew, maybe the one with the 6 halves gave him one as a consolation prize for filming?
I was thinking why didn't they mark the spot on the gps and come back there when it's daylight and try and find more the next day? For some reason I noticed the dirt was all tilled and quite soft. I've never found a coin older than 1950 in dirt like that. Wondering if the story behind it might be a coin purse fell off a stage coach or out of someone's pocket while riding their horse and never recovered. Or something similar. Too small of a cache for being a bank bag that was dropped. If someone was shot there, their belonging would have been stolen. I am not certain what cointainer people used when burying their belongings while traveling out west.
Great video, Ron.:) How come you and I never did that well?:lol:
We were to busy on the beach looking at girls! Oops, I mean looking for lost rings! :cool:Quote:

Who knows, but it sure fun to imagine!!Quote:
