my grandfather and grandmother lived in Alabama survived the depression and did not trust the banks for obvious reasons . they would bury their money my grand mother took a pair of old pants cut the leg out and sewed it into a bag put their coins in it .they buried it on their property my grand father died in 58 and it was forgotten and the land sold to his brother . he would not let my grandmother retrieve it so she had to take him to court and won she got to go back there and dig it up with a deputy escort she gave each of her kids a portion i have my mothers share its just 5 coins she had 9 kids lol!most are so wore you cant read the dates and not worth much if anything but i would not sell just because of who it is from and what she had to go through to get it back . i thought i would just share this story to keep me and the rest of you diggers pumped for the upcoming year mom told me this story and gave them to me about a year before she passed . i hope you enjoyed it . its out there people lost/ forgotten in the ground and we are all rich but we'll have to get out and dig it up . HOPE THIS IS YOUR BEST YEAR GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !
