<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jlblonde, post: 1316488, member: 32000&quot;]It is cast rather than hammered. It was found beneath a tree that was very large maybe 100 or so years old and several yards off the trail. Who ever buried it must have planted a small sapling to mark the area.</p><p><br /></p><p>The weight matches the size of the coin for it&#039;s silver content.

My great uncle had also buried a cash of silver and gold not far away during the revolution. Probably the payroll. He was killed and the buried money was never recovered or at least that&#039;s the official version. There is a monument near a cave marking the area of his HQ. The Mexican government guards the area against treasure hunters. So they say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
