Hey, I did the same thing. My Y2K beans wouldn't soften on top of the stove
in a regular pot, so I starting using the pressure cooker for them. They
taste great. I have also pressure canned them with the same good results
you had.

Subject: [frozen-assets] Re: Dried Pinto Beans [SNIPED!]
I bought a huge bag of beans during the Y2K scare (pre-2000)and of course
never needed them. Last summer, my 84 year old mom told me that old beans
wouldn't soften and they were probably be hard when cooked. (NOTE: as a
'southern' gal, I like my beans mushy and soupy with lots of seasoning.)I
was really aggravated that I'd lost all those beans.
I decided to take a chance and got out my pressure CANNER (not cooker) and
using standard directions for canning pintos, canned them.
Guess what? They were wonderful. We have been eating on them all last
winter. Just popped them open, put in my meat to season them (I use cooked
turkey sausages...you know the kind that looks like Polish sausage...) Let
them simmer to flavor up the beans, add cornbread and a hunk of onion
and...man-o-man...good eatin'
Is this repeatable? I don't know..but that was my experience with 10 year
old dried beans.
