I like that kind of gold much better than the tiny flakes they get on goldrush

Very nice gold. I see the bear or maybe an elephant. I would go with bear, as questioning if "you've seen the elephant", has civil war connotations. By the way, nice '26 dime.

When you found the gold, was it a whisper or a bang on the detector?

"seeing the elephant" predates the Civil War. You went to California in the 1850"s if you wanted to see the Elephant.
