My wife just mentioned this morning that she had a little treasure box somewhere but hadn't seen it in years. We launched into a search for it and found it way up under a bed really covered in cobwebs and dust.What I found in it was quite a surprise. It had a pretty good number of coins in it that were quite old and mostly in really good shape. There is a 1943 steel penny, 1909 dime,1907 v nickel,1907 quarter,1986 Jamaican dime,1984 1 pound coin,1979 Canadian 2 pence, 1887 silver dollar, 2 Canadian half dollars, and a Canadian 10 pence. There are also a good number of half dollars and Eisenhower dollars as well. The pictures of individual coins were so blurry they aren't worth printing. The pic of the coins in the box is all the 1976 commemorative quarters . I sure wish I had detected and dug these up.

My has exactly that same box. We bought it in the early 70's. [emoji4]

Of course hers isn't full of old coins. [emoji852]

Very nice! Wouldn't you like to find a hoard like that in the ground!

Edit: Oops, you said that already...lol!
 
Man that is a sweet box your wife had hidden away! Reminds me that I’ve got a box of coins locked away for a rainy day, or my kids some day.
 
That's a neat "discovery" for the two of you! She has a nice collection there. :grin:
