A Million Dollars laying on the beach | A Real Treasure Story

I've been metal detecting for 11 years and haven't found anything worth a damn. Cleaned a bunch trash out of the earth though. I guess that's good enough.

What a very humble man, and that's why it was a pleasure to rejoice with him while watching this.

Man talk about being in the right place at the right time. What a draw of luck. I bet he still is and was on cloud 9. I sure would be. I’ve watched Jimmy almost from my beginning of this wonderful hobby we are in. Just goes to show that we just never know what’s laying right underneath our feet. Awesome story. Thanks for sharing Matt. And congratulations to Jimmy.

Did you see the piece sitting right next to his hand when he found the piece of 8? You can only see the rim. It looks like another.

What a great feeling it must be, too. Hold history in your hand..😊

🤨 I wouldn't have said Squat to nobody until AFTER I was sure I cleaned the place out 😝🤣!!!!

A beautiful story of a very fortunate gentleman!💖

I love how humble this guy is.

Sorry to hear about your mom Jim. I lost my sister on my birthday. When I was a teenager back in the 70’s I bought a cheap metal detector at Radio Shack. I searched around the sidewalks in the apartment complex I lived in in Kingsport Tn. I found enough silver coins to pay for that detector twice over. I was hooked. Not long after that I got married and moved to southwest Virginia. My father-in-law and I were digging a hole for my power pole for my mobile home. I look down and thought that was a silver dollar laying there. I was wrong. It was an 8 Reales silver coin, 1829. I did the research of who lives there and it’s so happen to be a confederate who is log cabin hadn’t been burned down in 1864.. they burned him out because he had shot a union soldier so the union soldiers retaliated and burned his place down with him in it. I never gave this much thought until I found a spot down close to the river where I found six union soldiers uniform buttons in a row. I had found a grave of that union soldier.

Congratulations as a gold miner and history nut you have hit the jackpot with both of my top passions 👍🏻🇺🇸

I would bet he found a good bit more than what he has let on about. Just keeping it very quiet to pass down or sell when needed.

Watching from Ireland ❤ great story 😊

So glad the window of time opened for you with wonderful gifts!

You are the only person besides myself that I have ever heard of whose mother died on their birthday. My condolences brother. My mother passed Oct. 08 2012. It was my 35th. It made celebrating difficult for awhile. Now I celebrate Her life and the life she gave Me.

I have seen Jimmy Crossbones on Myer's Metal Detecting Treasure Talk Monday night live streams a few times. What a lovely man and a great story.

I remember watching the video when Jim found them! AWESOME!

This is the stuff we dream about at night!!! Awesome story!!

A great result. You were Blessed . Nature reclaiming for others to find a share.

Its truely an amazing feeling digging up a gold coin, but multiple and a historical find of that value is crazy! Hopefully one day 😁

Dug one gold coin in my year's of digging but alot of other cool things This is a super hobby
