Cache of Silver Coins Found in Pots.

Source: See Archaeology in Bulgaria link below.

A hoard of over 7,000 silver coins minted by the Ottoman Empire and hidden in two treasure pots has been discovered by accident by inmates from the prison in the city of Pleven in Northern Bulgaria.

The Ottoman coin hoard with the two broken treasure pots was stumbled upon on November 9, 2018, by prisoners during agricultural work on land owned by the Pleven Prison.

The newly discovered silver treasure, which is believed to have been buried in the ground in the 19th century, was formally presented to the media by the Pleven Regional Museum of History on November 19, 2018...

A few days ago I listed a number of ways that caches are found.  This is another example of a accidental hoard found as the result of farming.

As I said the other day, you can find coins from many countries on Florida beaches.  I posted a list of the countries that I have found coins from.  Alberto S. sent me some additional ones that he found (blue) and I added a few that I previously overlooked (red).  Here is the updated list.

Argentina, Armenia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Canada, Cuba, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Haiti, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Isle of Man, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago, Ukraine, Uruguay, Virgin Islands.

Here is one that I haven't identified.

Unidentified Coin.

Can anyone identify this coin for me?  Thanks.

Sorry I couldn't get a better photo.

Send  me any other additional countries that you have found coins from and I'll add them to the list.  Photos would be nice too.

It looks like the surf on the Treasure Coast will be only one or two feet for a few days.

We'll have a north wind for a while today, but not much surf.  The wind will then shift and we'll get some warming weather.  

The tides still are decent.

Let me know if you have found coins from additional countries or can identify the unidentified coin.


Happy hunting,
