<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8360667, member: 100459"]I don't know how many of you have read Louis L'Amour's book about the Sacketts. It seems that Barnabas Sackett was walking through the woods and was digging around a tree and found a purse with 5 gold coins. Supposedly, King John had been carrying the royal gems in that area and they were lost. When someone found that Baranabas Sackett had found the coins, he was ordered to turn them over to the royalty. He tried to tell them that the coins could not be from the King John royal purse. He was eventually wanted for "stealing" the coins, so he ended up going to the Americas for freedom.</p><p>My belief is that there are billions, if not trillions of coins and other items that have yet to be found.

[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8360667, member: 100459"]I don't know how many of you have read Louis L'Amour's book about the Sacketts.

If I found a hoard, I would tell no one, including family members (other than my wife, if you trust her/him.) I like to hear about the finds of hoards of coins, but it seems everyone wants a piece of the finds. Since the coins were found in 2018, has there been any further information about them?[/QUOTE]
