Hey all,

went diggin after work today way out in the boonies in farm country on a buddies property that I hunt now and then and found a cool little cache!

Check out the vid for details = enjoy!

Very cool find!

Great find MRH. You sure have more patience than I. I would of popped that pup open as soon as I got back to the truck!!!

Probably the best video I've seen in a long time. Kinda skipped up to the part about getting the coins out of the purse. That funny looking knuckle thing at the beginning is ,I believe, a link for a cistern pump. A rubber washer would go around it with the cistern chain attached to both sides. It would bring water up through the cistern pie when pumped. Might be brass.

Dang great video and finds there. Even looks like the purse might have been hit by a plow at some time. Well I would say once in a lifetime but you've found two. Congratulations on a stupendous find!

What fun! Have to admit, being in Cali, kept thinking" Dang Wayne is wasting alot of water", lol. Way to go man!!

Thanks all

cleaned up everything

oldest coin is the one I couldn't identify at 1st = turned out to be an 1886 Canada Large Cent (we use Canadian coins here in Michigan as legal tender) always have as far as I can remember.

The wheats are teens thru 1940s

2 Lincolns are both 1960

Jefferson's = 1948 and 1960

mercs = 1938 - 41 - 44 - 45

Roosevelt's = two 1952's and a 1962

so there we have it - the newest coin is a 1962 which means that is most likely when it was dropped making it having been in the ground for the last 52/53 yrs

the total = .90 cents --- the equivalent of losing approx. $7.00 in today's money as from a purchasing power standpoint

my best guess would be it fell out of some old farmers pocket while plowing the field back then.

WTG on the hunt, part of the fun is clean up to see what came to light. HH

Neat. I had one of those coin do-dads when I was a kid.

Awesome cache find MichiganRelicHunter!!!! That was a VERY successful day. Very well done and very good video as well!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

Indeed what patience would have been opened at the truck....Congrats on the find...Locally couple of older change purses found by club members and each had a gold coin and barbers...One never knows for sure...

nice find and great video MRH...

Really nice video and good finds. I remember having one of those change purses when I was about five years old. Probably lost mine too.

I love it when people find cashes, because it tells us all they are still out there way cool!!

Thanks for sharing with us Wayne, and way to go on the silvers!

Why was somebody carrying around an 1800s (Canadian) large cent in the (19)60s? Must have been for luck!
And you have added proof to my theory that memorial cents turn up EVERYWHERE!!
Nice dig and nice video MRH.

Does an archeologist argue with a plow? A bureaucrat with a bulldozer?

Was wondering the same thing ncwayne

an 1886 foreign coin commingled with generally 1940s/50s and early 60s US change is a bit strange and certainly wouldn't have been spent at a store/etc.

and yeah = stinkin lincolns show up everywhere

I really was hoping the coins were just a bit older (like Barber era) - woulda been a bit more "cool factor" at that point! lol

I'm still grateful to have found it though - not complaining by any means!
