What a story and interesting coincidence! I just finished reading a work of fiction by Steve Berry, "The Lost Order", which is about Confederate Gold Treasure buried and protected by a clandestine organization called The Knights of the Golden Circle, to be used for a future South. As with all Steve Berry novels, this story is based on actual facts and events, but with fiction and fantasy woven in.
The fork is actually not too unattractive, considering that it was mashed and buried for 60 years. Hard to see that it's copper that was silver plated.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
Interesting storytelling about the "Great Kentucky Hoard" find and the walk-through to the sale with Jeff Garrett. It presents the nexus between history and numismatics well.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I know a man who works in the local coin shop that all these coins were brought into after being dug up. Man that would have been a crazy walk-in to get the adrenaline pumping!!
