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.
