the house 1889 crowley,louisiana. first of the big southern mansions. the city of crowley est.1889 so the house was first of 200 such annebellum homes. the detector was a whites beach comber...excellent range..and the find under the porch?? jewels, bobby pins with diamonds rings and old coins from 1865-1900. despite the head cracking boards and the spiders...not bad!!then the lawn- jars of silver dollars. 5 jars full of 1926-1940 coins!!! i guess the depression made the stash! but what floored me was the anvil and the carpenter tools all nice and untouched in a iorn box!!perfect condition wrapped in some clothes!! no decay and very little weathering!!horse shoes also some knives and sharpening stones... the whole town is huge old homes so i will ask all the owners to let me search and share thier hidden treasure. recently an old janitor searched the baseball field and found a sack of over 3000 silver dollars to keep for himself!!i was furious after not beating him to the punch!! he retired because each coin was worth at least $100.00 to $300.00 per coin!!so go detect before the bait find walks away!! thanks ben lejune-rayne,louisiana.
