<p>[QUOTE=&quot;5dollarEdunote, post: 1126675, member: 28757&quot;]Hello collectors,</p><p><br /></p><p>Prepare for my long story, because Im pretty bad at writing these.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was in the age range of 7-10 (I honestly cant remember) and my&nbsp; focus in life was pirates, I buried a small treasure chest with a whole&nbsp; random assortment of things, which until today I had forgotten about. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now Im 14, and a couple days ago out of boredom and a little motivation I&nbsp; decided to dig a small tunnel in my backyard. It was something I&#039;d&nbsp; wanted to do for a while so I dug every day for about 2 hours, and got&nbsp; pretty deep (about 3 feet). I did remember about the treasure chest,&nbsp; which gave me a little extra motivation even though there was a 50/50&nbsp; chance I had already dug the chest up, but did not remember doing so.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>All of this leads to today. I was working on expanding the hole to&nbsp; increase mobility, when I discovered a piece of decaying&nbsp; plastic on the side of the hole. I almost instantly realized what this&nbsp; was and quickly dug it out. I know I should of taken pictures of the&nbsp; chest in the hole, but I was way to excited.</p><p>[ATTACH]114139.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I took the tape, string, and plastic wrap off of the chest, and opened it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the &quot;spoils&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]114140.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>A polished stone, vial of flake gold, wooden pirate statue, 2 clad Kennedy&#039;s, a 1964 Kennedy, and a semi-nice ring I remember feeling very guilty about burying (not pictured, as it is my moms so I gave it back to her)</p><p>[ATTACH]114141.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114142.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>It appears like the clad halves which laid on the silver half transferred rust onto it. Also, out of excitement I rubbed the coin to see what date it was and unfortunately in the process gave it a few scratches.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not nearly as exciting as finding a coin purse full of 1800&#039;s coins (Youtube video reference) but still enough to make your day</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for reading!</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I know this is a weird turn from the normal things you talk about in this forum, but since there were some Kennedy&#039;s in there I figured why not share the story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
