This exciting new work collects together for the first time the
evidence for hoards, buried treasure and other finds of
numismatic material from the Americas. An inventory enumerates
approximately 900 coin finds, chiefly from the United States, but
also from Canada and most other countries in the Americas. This
is supplemented with a listing of 150 finds of American coins
outside the Americas. Each entry contains the find spot, date of
discovery, date of deposit, detailed description of the contents,
and a bibliography. The inventory exploits the numismatic,
shipwreck, and archaeological literatures, newspapers, and law
reports of treasure trove cases more thoroughly than has ever
been done before.
