The trove included this pattern bust Jane I laurel, a Charles II guinea. I hope I pronounce it right from 1675, which has a spelling error with king's Latin name spell income as craolos. Not trying to pronounce that instead of C-A-R-O-L-V-S. Sold for ten, 500. So what would you do if you found gold coins under your home?

Hey. Hey. Hi. Yeah, that's that's pretty amazing, finding that treasure under there, man. I always dream about trying to find treasure. Sometimes I'm even thinking about getting one of those metal detectors just to go and see. You never know what's out there, right? It's amazing when you find treasure, not only the value, but you just the fact of finding it and actually holding something in your hand from so many years ago and centuries ago, right?

Hey, Will. Eric here. Thanks so much for your reply. That's a good question. What were their reasons for finding the treasure originally? Why did they put it where it was and why did not go back and get it? Those are really good questions. Hey, welcome to the swell cast to network than the platform. I'm really having fun with it, and I'm meeting lots of interesting people and just enjoying it. I treat it like a hobby

Hey, Eric, man, I appreciate you. Thank you so much, bro. Yeah, I just been on here a week. I see you've been on here for a minute, right? I love it, man. It's just a cool place to unwind and let loose and open up whatever topic you feel like it touching on. I'm an artist, like I told you before. You know what I'm saying? So that's what I'm into, man

Hey, Eric. Those are big, high numbers there. It makes you want to check out the coins you have. My dad passed in 2013, and he had a little bag of coins, and I still have them in a little baggy, and I kind of cross referenced them to see if anything was valuable. Blend didn't look like it. But I also think to the question raised about why do people hide them and what's that motivation

Sometimes it's because they just don't want anyone getting it. Knowing that, Well, I buried it. You're not going to get it. Even though I can't use it, you're not going to get it. I win. Ha ha. Sometimes it's for political reasons. There's all kinds of reasons why people bury stuff. That's why it makes treasure, I think. So much fun. Anyway, great reply. Thanks so much. Appreciate it
But nonetheless, there's a lot of value in gold and silver and having duplicate errors like that, that's probably the most interesting thing about the story that you reported on, is that it's not just your general generic gold coins. They're incredibly historic, first and foremost, but they're also errors and misstamps
