Go Up Go Down

I worked at Nestles foods in the late 1980s and I met a older guy that also worked there. One day I thought that I would ask him if he knew of any stories about buried money, Well you know its called Networking, Anyhow he said that he was from West Virgina in the hills. He said that he would walk down the road and in the ditch by the neighbors old house that he had found silver dollars that dated from the early 1900s. By now my mouth was wide open to be spoon fed his story. It was nothing to walk there and he said that it seemed every time he went that he found more but had to do alittle diggin in the ground. I asked him to tell me where it was and that was not going to happen. He believed that the money was placed there for this persons moonshine. He would never say how much he found. I seen some of the coins that he brought in to work. Its been almost 20 years ago that I talked to him and surely cant remember his name. I thought that I would share this with you and maybe someone would chime in and add something to why the money lied in that ditch.

 Hello Leroy it could have all been bs all most everyone my age and more then likely your age has 1 or 2 silver coins then again he could have got then all when he was a kid or the person putting them there for the corn liquor never got his liquor and quit putting them there someone could have just lost them, did he find 1 a day or all at one time there was just a lot of air in this persons story,not that it's not true

I never thought of that Digger. What if something happened to the person that threw it out. Nice reply

Might of been from a bank job or whatever and back then those coins probably would have been in a burlap feed sack or pillowcase.
