[@timebandit7874]

I thought you contained yourself pretty well. Don't listen to the idiots who want to criticize your video techniques and the words you used. Thought it was more exciting seeing your real emotions come out. Just like I was there with you. Thanks for sharing.

[@jcwdigger]

thanks man alot of mean ppl out there

​@@jcwdiggeryeah my friend and the worst is family members. Anyway great find happy for ya. Been looking for a treasure for last couple of years and I stopped looking for it. Because apparently the country where I am from the law says gov will take everything and I'll get nothing so I stopped even though I know how the place will look even after all these years, I'm talking about +30 gold bars all from 1kg to 8kg each .

[@kellybowman538]

Your killing me! Now I have to go out and buy a detector. That was one of best videos I've seen. Thanks

[@SkiSearcher]

goodnight !!!!!! well first off i couldn’t stop watching idc if the camera was shaky or not focusing because that was a find of a lifetime and i felt like i was right there with you brother ! so many awesome coins in that cache and the two trimes and the one you found in the water at the end 😱 . i highly enjoyed this thanks for the adventure 💥👍🇺🇸🦅🏴‍☠️subbed subbed subbed !

[@jcwdigger]

Thanks

[@meichelle2000]

I loveeee your excitement in this video!! It feels great just to watch you enjoy your little treasure! Thanks for sharing this lovely video!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

realy enjoyed you finding that. thanks for sharing

[@michaellangley3417]

Man. I couldn't help but to get excited, when you started giggling.... It made me laugh myself, And I have been accused of being a grumpy ol' fart. Awesome find sir. Hopefully many more to come....

[@colski222]

Subbed buddy and yeah what a great find, i have been at it a few month in the uk and found my first silver George 4th sixpence 1824 was probably buzzing just like you was what a find buddy nice 1.

[@nikkicole9964]

This is a wonderful cache :D I love that you thank God openly knowing that some people will blast you. I'm pretty sure God likes that about you too!

[@timothyfoleyjr2796]

I bet this was some kids''treasure chest ''and he hid by the rotting tree. He went off to war and never came back.

[@jimchumley6568]

timothy foleyjr I think it was stashed by a troll or gremlin.

[@kicktotheliver]

You’re probably right

[@THing4CSA]

Congrats on the finds! That is amazing! Your odd coins that I could see include British Half Pennies, and a coin from the Phillipines. One looks like it is from the Nederlands. Nice finds! ;-)

[@shaunbriggs77]

Wow what an awesome find jcw. I could feel your excitement, it's finds like that we all dream of. Congrats and HH

[@lukemicoletti]

I haven't the slightest idea how you remained calm hahah if that was me, I would have kept them off to the side, revealing one at a time like a guy who just bought 50 lottery tickets. Patiently awaiting the possible winner. In your case, they ALL seemed like winners. Congrats man you've totally opened my eyes to creek hunting. Not to mention now I have to dig every target 40 or higher!

[@RustyHaloMetalDetecting]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! IT IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Im showing my kids right now

[@danachappell3861]

Cool find. That standing Lady Liberty is also called a Flying Eagle coin. :) (because of the eagle on the other side). Great find for you. Hope you get more out of them than a few bucks. Keep up the great work. :)

[@jeffjohnson6402]

Awesome find !! Been hunting since 1998. Found lots of old coins. My fantasy is to make a find like you. I. Jealous !!! But happy as hell for you. Great video. 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@JonAlmada]

It was so nice to see you get that find and it was exciting to be along for the ride - Congratulations!

[@commissarpistols606]

The Franklin half puts the cache well past the great depression. Awesome find though!

[@petedetects7012]

That makes me feel good to see someone find such a cool target. Congratulations bro.

[@twobucketsprospecting7350]

Very cool dude. What a great find. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@aldenunion]

Cool find.So much burglary,I have found busted open safes,etc...Once I touched stupidly,and once home realized my prints were all over,so called the state police so I could not be mistook.lol.People may think you "Salted",but when you truly love the hobby,are happy as long as machine is on.I hit jackpot all the time and like you,found multi in one spot.Is so much out there to find.I learned to go in winter when brush is down,gain the virgin ground.Don't do the ballfield,but the little patch on sidehill driving down.lol..Other hunters want comfort.lol..Friend found a Frame of old womans change purse,material long rotted away(Liner remained).Inside seated everything and Gold pieces.lol..I have hit seated club,but no gold coins yet.lol..Glad you were able to video.I often am alone so wish while digging I recorded.Corn field next to hometowns ballpark,found a 1849 seated liberty half dime.About 8 inches down.Old buck who owns coin shop was right near me.lol..I took him on my jaunt,and he drove long way,was just saying to myself "Please lord,let Carl find something great."..lol..Sorry the long post,cheers!!!

[@craftbunny]

Wow!!!!I just came across this video,and i must say, WOW!!!This is an amazing dream come true.I wonder if this was buried somewhere above in the bank and somehow got washed out.I have to say you held together pretty well and did a great job filming,cause i probably would have fainted if i ever found something like that.Congratulations.You should do another video of the coins all cleaned up.

[@mikedalto364]

thats an awesome find man... but i can say that some of these coins date back to the depression and before the depression. but these coins were cached after the depression since you have some coins from the 1940's and the great depression ended in 1939.... still awesome depression era find i wish i found it

[@DudeStuff69]

Nice man! That quarter is either a bowl strike error or a quarter struck on a half dollar planchette...it worth some cash!

[@xxoozzcici13]

Incredible find! a lot on the old bucket list. I subbed to your channel. Keep the vids coming.

[@LyudmilaRGVK]

That is so wild! Just think if you weren't digging all signals it would still be there.Way to go!

[@steweyhuntscoinsandcards2942]

Superb find man!! One of the best video finds I've ever seen when it comes to a catch like that. Congrats!

[@ErlefromVa]

Very special cache for sure! The box is unique in it's own, to be filled with coins was definitely rare find indeed! Thanks for sharing...

[@HITEKSTRANGER]

Another great find that would still be hidden otherwise. Nice work! Gives hope that many more stashes were socked away and got lost or forgotten , to all us other people that are starting a new hobby this summer! Giddeeeup!!

[@Afrikitty]

It looks like an old savings box. My grand-parents taught us how to save like that. We would drop all our coins into that box and when it was full, it would be taken to the bank, counted out and entered into your banking book. Just a thought....

[@WildDigger]

That is a awesome Cache!!! And a real one not a faked one like you see a bunch on here. I hope you enter this into Garrett's find of the month!! Congrats!

[@frankleescarlet8881]

I have just inherited a box of penny rolls that haven't seen the light of day since 1925-1959. There are many yet to be inventoried and catalogued-for there are are many that I need help with in order to show how favorable of a find I've made and that a choice nudge towards the Redbook as to see just how well preserved my initial thrust is..

[@brianbarnes3645]

Cool video ! just a helpful hint do some research on the 1943 American steel penny and the 1943 bronze penny .

[@cdraaven]

thank god you found my coins my kids would have gone hungry :( thats why it was a great depression ... just kidding bud way to go i love your reaction and how you appreciated your finds :) Karma payed you for something you did no matter how small it led you to this :) remember the feeling :) congrads hope to see more fortune find its way into your hands :)

[@HuntNdig]

Nice bucket list find! The cache is at the top of my list!

[@Stubbleduck43]

The quarter that looks hammered, I remember as a kid, this old guy would get a nickle and hold it vertical and hit it with a spoon all the way around hundreds of times. It looked like the quarter when he was done.

[@SamuelIsaac-uu3vr]

Now that is how you make an entertaining video great job my friend and happy digging if your ever in N.W. Arkansas look me up and let's find more treasure.

[@tozurc]

I do metal detect as well, but I have never found something like it, nice coin bro!

[@CasiodorusRex]

That treasure belongs to Chester Copperpot.

[@jimchumley6568]

Joe Schmoe Did you bring your inhaler Samwise Gamshie?

[@ullchoirs9161]

The small silver with the head on it is likely a French 1/4 franc from the 1830s/40s. Look up the diameter of those coins and measure the one you found to know for sure.

[@frankiecowsert9364]

awesome......I'd like to think some old man had this stash and hid it years ago so some lucky guy could find them....and you did....great.

[@terrestrialtreasurehunter2669]

Wow. such an amazing find i had to watch it twice! subbed👍

[@seancoyote]

It wouldn't be a Great Depression cache because of the 1940's coins, still a very cool find.

[@lisacolbert5987]

I was thinking the same thing. Still a very cool find .

[@tozurc]

You are so Lucky I've never found something like it! Nice finds!

[@Yodumeee]

You and 99.9% of detectorists

[@waxore1142]

goes to get phone. comes back and cash is gone...

[@Kamelhaj]

LOL - I thought the same thing.

[@SirBruceDetects]

Grats on the super find.. that was way cool... I subscribed you back... GL & HH

[@planb2222]

Great find digger! Thanks for sharing.

[@FloridaKeysPirate]

Great find man ! Hope you cleaned up the container and display it with the coins back inside. That's how I'd have to do it. Nice !

[@hardensjames]

ive done metal detecting before ive never found verey many good coins but ive found diamond rings but thats 1 out of every 100 digs mostly old bottle caps and nuts and bolts lol but i dont have the top of line detector either im just in it for fun good luck and make more videos even if you dont find anything its still fun to watch.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. Your omg's were hilarious. Great find and great video. Congrats and God bless.

[@dawncanbegrumpyinthemornin1408]

What a great cache! You scored wonderfully 👍👍

[@kardro1]

Wow! I'm happy for you. Perhaps the black is from the wildfire.

[@judyhobday5334]

really nice, enjoyed going along with you on the video. Thank you for sharing.

[@gris186]

18:08 That's a Danish coin! It's quite big so it might be a 2 øre coin but there should be a number on the other side 1, 2, 5 or 10. 1 øre is 6 cents and the coin a fairly common but not in use anymore as the lowest currency is 50 øre. But that's really weird for it to show up in Murrica

[@jamesstockbauer2119]

I think this case is later than the Great Depression. They did not start minting Franklin half dollars until 1948.

[@josephobrien9008]

Can't really be described as a Great Depression cache considering there is a Franklin Half among the contents. But STILL, HOLY CRAP! Awesome find.

[@PlasteredDragon]

Franklin halves didn't start until 1948, so the cache must have been hidden in '48 or later, that's about 10 years after the depression ended. But it is a great cache of coins! Congratulations on such a terrific find. That's a once-in-a-lifetime find, good for you!

[@LiterallyGod]

Something so weird to me about the urge to scream out in joy when finding treasure. As much I’d like to think I wouldn’t draw attention to myself it seems like it would prob just happen naturally. Good vid

[@denniskopp3281]

The one Quater that looked weird around the edges ,someone was trying to make a ring out of it , also the two with holes in them, I know a gentleman that used to do that and that is how he would start the process to make a ring.

[@SlickDiggs]

Wow! Man great find! Makes me want to get out NOW! lol

[@codyeasom8469]

It appears to be someones coin collection, .......YOURS great job bro. Make sure the quarter isnt some coin damaged at the mint. If it is it could be worth a lot of cash

[@apple736]

this is like a dream find for metal detectors, anyone who thinks otherwise is just jealous!

[@Afrikitty]

It looks like an old savings box. My grand-parents taught us how to save like that -- we would drop all our coins into the box and when it was full, it would be taken to the bank, counted out and entered into our bank savings book. Just a thought....

[@commonconservative7551]

electrolysis ,i think is the cause of holes and oddities...maybe it even causes them to look worn from rubbing

[@heavymetalnut1965]

very cool cache Chris! congrats

[@gemmint77]

Cool find. Thanks for sharing

[@NuManXplore]

Great find, happy for you! I was thinking it was a bit sad for the poor person who saved all that money back then, and then lost it or had it stolen. Anyway, like they say "finders keepers"!

[@johns4584]

Cool finds, maybe find of a lifetime!

[@jasonmock9434]

What a crazy find!!! Congrats brother!

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Enjoyed the video thumbs up

[@sheilaagan1222]

My first thought is that the container is an old pneumatic tube.

[@tia4758]

Nice find for a great kid.

[@05222007MER]

Awesome find! Congrats!

[@janwarriner5037]

I call that a Treasure Chest! Great find!

[@williamwallace176]

Some "V" nickels have the word "cents" on them and some do not. The ones without the word "cents" are worth more. I have both them I believe from 1883.

[@Country_Girl63]

Some of those wheat pennies are worth a lot of $$$.

[@TheLionofjudah01]

CONGRATS!!! and please forget those Godless coments. I am very happy for you and I enjoy the way you manifest your emotions, I will do the same or maybe a little more expressive then you. 😄congrats.

[@jimchumley6568]

TheLionofjudah01 AMEN! Praise God at all times!

[@darylmorse7337]

You sure Luke to drag out your video. I couldn't watch it all because you took your sweet time

[@jamessalyers9952]

Awesome find, congratulations

[@zeekrednecksmith7350]

that iron box is actually a smelting mold to melt down gold or silvers ..

[@l.gambino9441]

I would be super excited to find something like this (as I'm sure anyone else would be) who cares what choice of words he used smh... anyways That's amazing find and I look forward to seeing more of your videos 😉

[@northwoodsdiscovery6962]

+LvlyLynn Gambino God cares.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

God was sure smiling down on you that day leading you to the right place to receive the blessing HE had just waiting for you... PTL!!! God is so good.... Praise Jesus!!!

[@diegobrown19]

Congrats on the great finds! I went metal detecting just earlier today and found my first two silver items ever! I've only been doing it a few weeks, and I found about $4.50 in quarters (clad), 21 pennies (one wheat that I scratched with my shovel), $1.40 in dimes (clad), one men's silver nugget ring and a very thin silver child's bracelet. I just cant describe the awesome feeling of finding something other than aluminum cans, pull-tabs and beat up Lincoln memorials . By the way do you ever pan that creek for gold? Happy hunting!

[@tinker6670]

Go to half Price books and get ya an old coin book to identify your coins like the V- nickel some dates of some coins can be quite valuable even if the condition is cruddy 1912-s V nickel for example is over $100 in cruddy condition liked the show thanks

[@lewisyost6212]

what year were the wheat pennies reason I ask is 1943 pennies were made of steel however some were made out of copper and if one is in the cache it may be worth millions

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

Very nice. Have any background on the site, like was there a home next to the creek or did you just happen upon it detecting the creek? Is it a creek in a residential area or a farm?

[@samfriedman9199]

Wow! I dream of finding something like that! AWESOME FIND

[@PamelaHegedusLadyDiggerinPa]

GREAT find!.! Love it

[@tara1131975]

Very nice find, congrats.

[@grandprix1phil]

What an amazing find. Congratulations....Someday we all hope we find a hoard like this. Why do these people call out some guy making a gesture to his god? The dude is free to say whatever he wants period.

[@stringfrenzy]

Very nice job...congrats!

[@j.b.p6478]

I see that this is a old video....I do hope that you at least bought a book on coins! Its something that is needed when you want to metal detect....Nice find! Once in a life time!

[@silverbuyer]

Very cool find! Congrats!

[@FSSRKeyno]

damm, more fun than winning from a Casino!

[@macplastering]

thats brilliant mate a pure dream find 😀

[@amandaroberts3869]

What an amazing find! I hope to be that lucky! I just started metal detecting.

[@jcwdigger]

Amanda Roberts good luck i have lots of good tips on some of my other videos

[@amandaroberts3869]

jcwdigger Think I'll have any luck in Ohio? And I might have to upgrade my equipment, I have a bounty hunter quick draw 2. I want a Garrett.

[@jcwdigger]

Amanda Roberts well it all depends on were u are in Ohio need to look on some old maps find some older houses theres lots of ways to find old places

[@amandaroberts3869]

jcwdigger Youngstown, Ohio. I found an antique 14k gold necklace under my attic floor boards in my house built in 1906. I haven't detected the yard yet, but I will. There is also a gigantic patch of woods with a creek in my back yard.

[@amandaroberts3869]

[@veritasfiles]

The fact that you found a Franklin Half means that you didn't find a great depression cache. You just found someone in the 40s or 50s who kept some of their old coins. Great find though.

[@56Axis]

what an amazing find. very cool.

[@cynthiafranco4313]

u r a lucky man to find all the coins

[@charlestravis9798]

Could the broken-in-half coin be half of a Spanish Reale? If you are in the Maryland/Virginia area it could quite possibly be just that as loads of them are found all the time there.

[@courtneyhall7140]

you better say o MY GOD,and thank him.

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

the no namer is a british three pence. the United states coins are from the Philippines. the one with the large 5 you didn't show long enough. ..maybe german. but don't know Cuz you just skimmed over it. as you did with most the foreign coins. which are far more interesting than the rest. think I even seen an aussie half penny. this looks like an old coin collection. back in the old days poor kids collected whatever they could. most would collect stamps off the mail, or coins from change ect. they often saved them up to buy baseball cards. this seems like it is not as old as the coins suggest so I doubt it is from the 50s/60s. but probably the 80-90s. looks more like a kids coin collection they bought from a coin shop. hence the holed, broken, foreign and just knackered silver coins. probably buried it as a little stash treasure. and it washed off the bank. I buried little boxes like this as a kid with coins my dad would give me I thought were neat. and would pluck out the wheat CENTS (us never minted pennies btw) and any Indian or buffalo's I could find. trouble was I forgot were I would bury them.... I went back to that spot a few years ago to find my old stashes with my detectors and found 6 Spanish portrait and pillar dollar type silver 1 and 2 reales...go figure. was there when I was burying my stash as a kid. and long before that. their grades were XF. so they had circulated some. but was an awesome find. I've found a few old caches like this one you have and I can say that's typically what these are. Some kids coin collection treasure stash. pretty neat. the post hole caches I've seen were full of good coins. typically all within a decade time frame and always silver coins. At least here. They didn't bury cents. some nickels...but mostly dimes, quarters and halves and one had rotten cash. blue and light green seal notes. one had several 10$ gold pieces that were scattered from tilling. But that one I didn't find. a friend did about 35 minutes up the road on a farm. my best finds always come from farms near the rivers or where old fences are or were. And especially in the water. rivers or the ocean. ocean coins are typically so badly eaten up there is no chance at good graded coins. but still fun. My best find was an 8 Reale mexico mint 1715 fleet silver coin on Vero Beach. it looks like a thin black cookie. and took ages to clean up. that coin is special as it is from a Spanish shipwreck. I was all grins that day. and is what got me really into detecting. now that I am out west, I hunt gold. but when I go back home I'll be back after spanish silvers again. last visit home I went to east Longmeadow in MA and found several really good coins. pillar 1 reale, pillar half reale, lots of barber dimes, seated x4 and a couple colonials. I love this hobby. and I totally get how you felt in this video. congrats. check that bank! would bet there are more coins on the bank. especially near any old swimming hole.
