Some may recall the guy who thought he could use coordinates fro civil war era to pinpoint a treasure. Don't think this was the one he was looking for.

Possibly this was the grave next to the grave of Arch Stanton.

Ennio Morricone smiles down at you.

I prefer The Ecstacy of Gold.

Getting back to the OP, that's about $1025 face value, worth around $100,000 as bullion today. Of course, these will have numismatic value far in excess of that. Nice score.

@norman-oklahoma and you can guarantee that Uncle Sam will get his 200 pounds of flesh for that find.
