That has to be a great feeling, to come across such an interesting find! Well, I'm off to dig up the back yard...

Thanks for posting this.

Glad to do it.  I LOVE the pics of the jar as they work their way down through the tons of coins.  Just a few feet from the surface, for what, over a thousand years?  Makes you think....
