Buried Treasure

“The Coins Kept Coming”

In 2023, a Kentucky farmer found a cache of greater than 800 gold and silver Civil War-era cash buried in a cornfield — a uncommon discover one coin knowledgeable stated was “hard to comprehend.” The discovery triggered an avalanche of media curiosity from across the globe, with tales showing in The New York Times, The Guardian, Smithsonian Magazine and USA Today, amongst others.

On this brand-new particular episode of Kentucky Life, for the primary time, we hear from the farmer, in addition to vintage coin knowledgeable Jeff Garrett with Mid-America Rare Coin Galleries, providing their ideas about that fateful day and the invention now referred to as The Great Kentucky Hoard. We additionally hear from UK historian Amy Murell-Taylor on what was taking place in Kentucky in the course of the Civil War that will have led to those cash being put in the bottom, and we go exploring with three guys who name themselves The Dirt Nerds as they seek for buried treasure in the Bluegrass.

Fearing an onslaught of fortune seekers on his property, the Kentucky farmer went to nice lengths to stay nameless and silent — till now.

“I initially found the 1856 Seated Liberty Half Dollar probably 20 to 30 feet from where the hoard was located,” the farmer advised Kentucky Life. “I would have never believed what came next. Things that only happen in dreams. When I continued walking and saw the glint of gold – a thick reeded edge. When I pulled the coin from the ground, I was astonished when I realized I was holding a $20 Double Eagle from the 1860s. After I flipped the first clump of dirt over the next 45 minutes to an hour, the coins kept coming. I knew it was hundreds.”

Chip Talks with the Farmer

Had you ever made any discoveries like this earlier than, and was this the kind of factor you have been on the lookout for?
Never in one million years did I feel I might ever come throughout something even near this. Normally, after I’m not working, I wander the fields looking for native American artifacts and something that will have been misplaced a whole bunch of years in the past.

Talk me by the day main as much as the invention – in normal, what had you been doing?
I used to be in the fields as every other regular day, after I had gotten off work, I began strolling a portion of the property I had seen damaged items of pottery and brick strewn in a reasonably confined space after I got here throughout the primary coin. Something that has occurred an honest quantity of instances. I discovered my first “old coin” after I was possibly 9 strolling the fields round my hometown on the lookout for arrowheads, and increase, there it was a pristine 1937D Mercury dime, sitting there basking in the solar. This time it was somewhat extra thrilling beings it was a gorgeous 1856O Seated Liberty half greenback which was nearly good minus just a few marks from the place it had been struck by farm tools. Little did I do know what that will result in subsequent.

When you first seemed down in the dust and noticed the cash, what was going by your thoughts? Did you notice the enormity of what you had simply discovered and that this was a life-changing occasion?
I initially discovered the 1856 Seated Liberty Half Dollar in all probability 20-30’ from the place the hoard was situated. I might have by no means believed what got here subsequent. Things that solely occur in goals. When I continued strolling and noticed the glint of gold….a thick reeded edge… after I pulled the coin from the bottom I used to be astonished after I realized I used to be holding a 20$ DOUBLE EAGLE from the 1860s. After I flipped the primary clump of dust over the following 45 minutes to an hour the cash saved coming. I knew it was a whole bunch. I guessed initially round three to possibly 400 cash. To my shock after I obtained residence and began counting the whole was over 800 cash. 770 of which have been gold.

The very very first thing I might have completed would have been to wash off the cash – Jeff stated you have been good sufficient to not do that because it tremendously enhanced their worth. How in the world do you know not to do that?
I’ve been in the pastime of strolling fields and admiring cash from the age of we’ll say ten or youthful. My dad had gotten me into cash after he had collected all the best way again because the late Seventies. He had at all times warned me in opposition to cleansing something silver. Knowing that gold is way softer than silver it was a no brainer for me to depart them be. They had fairly a little bit of rust on the surfaces, I assumed both they have been in an previous iron field or one thing that corroded through the years and left quite a lot of the cash encrusted.

Walk me by the times after the invention – what have been you pondering?
I knew immediately that I had made an infinite discovery. I hadn’t heard of such a discover in the US in ages. I spent hours researching every coin and the completely different years and varieties to test for rarities and key dates. I knew that something with a D mint mark from the time can be very uncommon and precious. Out of 700+ gold cash, I imagine solely ONE was minted in Dahlonega Georgia. I discovered just a few different gold {dollars} with mint marks some rarer than others…however after researching the important thing dates for the Liberty Head 20$ I spotted I had not one…however EIGHTEEN of one of many uncommon dates, the 1863 20s. This is when my head started to spin and I knew I wanted assist.

Jeff actually wrote the ebook on cash like this – how did you discover him, and the way a lot reassurance did it deliver you that you just’d related with such an knowledgeable?
I had truly posted on a social media group I’m part of, and one of many members talked about that I ought to attain out to a Jeff Garrett. They stated he was the knowledgeable on US minted Gold Coins. I started to analysis his title and skim of his unimaginable and really in depth background in the coin world. I used to be skeptical at first, one thing of this magnitude is HUGE and folks will be extraordinarily grasping in instances of different’s lucky occasions. I despatched him a really obscure, very brief e mail with an image of 1 single 1863 Double Eagle, stating solely that I had a coin I knew was doubtlessly precious. We agreed to fulfill in his workplace in Lexington, the place I introduced six of the Double Eagles and some different cash from the discover. By the tip of our assembly, I revealed to him that was a really very small portion of what I had found, and that I had 12 extra 1863 Double Eagles at residence together with a number of hundred extra gold cash of the identical timeframe. Everything else from there got here right down to personally transporting the cash to Sarasota to NGC the place we met with Mr. Mark Salzberg and Dave Camire for the following steps in cleansing, grading and preserving this unimaginable discovery.

Any recommendation you’d provide to treasure hunters or anybody else on the market captivated by this story?
Keep your eyes out and by no means cease wanting. I by no means even imagined I might discover one gold coin in my total life. Let alone one thing so vital it has its personal hoard title. There are a whole bunch of tales of misplaced treasure, hidden staches from bandits and simply the superstitious rich previous man who didn’t belief the banks…

Has this modified the best way you stroll round and look at issues?
Surprisingly, not a lot, as I stated I’ve spent a few years wandering the fields and river banks on the lookout for something that catches the attention. My Father did it earlier than me, my great-grandmother had one of the crucial unimaginable museum-worthy collections of arrowheads all discovered strolling cultivated land and the banks of the rivers. I suppose possibly it’s in my bones, I’ve at all times been extraordinarily fascinated with discovering gadgets from the previous.
