<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 466437, member: 1242&quot;]Sketcher,</p><p><br /></p><p>Hello from a fellow Tennessean! Although Tennessee or the entire U.S. as a Country for that matter, has not been around as long as most other Countries, there are still some long buried coins and treasures to be found. Many farmers as well as well-off folks had a tendency to not trust Banks and they would bury money (mostly coins but sometimes paper money) around their&#039; house. The most common spot was under a large tree which was close to and within easy sight of the Master bedroom. In this way, the person who buried the money, could lay in bed and keep a watch on it. Another area was inside a well one to two feet down on the side where they would remove one or more bricks, make a void to hold the money then put the bricks back into place. Since many homes or homesites can still be found in Tennessee that predate the Civil War, some of these give up great finds other than just coins.</p><p>The links below are to information about just two finds:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinlink.com/News/us-coins/doug-winter-market-report-gold-from-the-jackson-tennessee-hoard-surfacing/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinlink.com/News/us-coins/doug-winter-market-report-gold-from-the-jackson-tennessee-hoard-surfacing/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinlink.com/News/us-coins/doug-winter-market-report-gold-from-the-jackson-tennessee-hoard-surfacing/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=980DE4DE1E31E033A25750C2A9679D94659ED7CF" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=980DE4DE1E31E033A25750C2A9679D94659ED7CF" rel="nofollow">http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=980DE4DE1E31E033A25750C2A9679D94659ED7CF</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
