"...Surrounding a broken glass jar where the coins were once placed for safe keeping, Bishop said she unearthed 41 gold Liberty Head Double Eagle $20 coins with dates ranging from 1875 to 1896. Each coin weighs one ounce.

According to Bishop, 40 of the coins were minted in San Francisco, and one was minted in Carson City, Nev.

It was not long before the news began spreading throughout the county...." From.

Fun stories, Surf. I don't think I'd tell anyone about those coins. Even with them in a safe deposit box, there are too many untrustworthy people out there. This story is a good example of why you should metal detect your yard. As they said, people did not trust banks back then.
