Castine Hoard
The Castine Hoard (Also known as ''The Castine Deposit'') is the name given to identify a treasure trove of 500 - 2,000 North American colonial coins that were found in Castine, Maine. The coins were from various countries, and were buried sometime in the late 1600s. In the early 1840s the coins were discovered on a farm owned by the Grindle family.
==Origin==
The coins were thought to have been a secret stash belonging to Baron Jean-Vincent d'Abbadie de Saint-Castin. Jean Vincent moved from France to the new world becoming a battalion leader, and later a Baron following the death of his father. Jean eventually fell in love with Pentagoet, and moved there once his army duties had been complete. While in Pentagoet he became more than friendly with the Indians becoming a local chief. Jean later married the daughter of another chief, and they had a daughter.
In 1704, British forces led by Major Church stormed and captured the village of Pentagoet. Fearing the British would discover her fathers stash Jean's daughter re-hid, and buried the coins in a safer spot. Within an hour though she was captured, and never returned to take the money for her-self. Baron Jean Vincent who was away on family business died in France a few days after his daughter's capture.
