I was going through some of my collection and thought about this old find . Artifact Jack and me were dredging for gold on the south fork of the American river in Coloma California where the gold rush started . When this coin showed up in the riffles it was my dredge and I wanted the coin so I gave Jack half the estimated value at the time . This is when it was legal to suction dredge as a great hobby this must have been forty or more years ago when we found this five dollar gold piece . Summer an Low water year and no wetsuit needed trouble maker rapid we found plenty of pickers too but that was a day maker . New photos of old gold .
