It hardly ever happens to anyone, don't feel so bad about it :lol

My best guess:

They were probably hidden years back when the government was confiscating gold. Who ever buried it lost it's position, or died before digging it up.

Well, the timeline is farther away from the dates of the coins than I originally suspected:

First thing I thought too. Makes you want to become one of those weird bastards that runs all over the place with a metal detector.:lol

[The Reckoning]

[Wild Cobra]

Hard to say. Truth is often stranger than fiction.

Damn it, considering that MILF thread you created a while back, was kinda expecting to see some old chicks cans when entering the thread, then clicking the link...anyways, good read, helluva find.

If that's the case then it's illegal loot that belongs to the government and should be confiscated immediately.

That's awesome, tbh...you'll rarely ever see any discoveries like that in Florida because most people give up after 2 minutes of digging into limestone.
