Return to Coin Spill site... Hunting bud finds UNBELIEVABLE GOLD coin

[umrgolf]

Hey guys, it had been a couple weeks since I found the coin spill with the six silvers. I went back 2 days after the first 6 and found an additional 1842-O dime. Well, the next day I talked the landowner into plowing six plots in the field for me, including the spill site.

Fast forward to today.... Mike Scott and Gene Scullion from Fisher Metal Detectors came into town to hunt with me and my hunting buddy Coach Croft.

Five minutes after we get out of the truck I hear Coach yell "HOLY #$%@, A GOLD COIN" So the three of us run over to see this coin, and FOLKS it is BEAUTIFUL.

Its an 1841-C $2.5 gold coin.. The C mintmark really threw me for a loop so I looked it up on my phone. Minted at the CHARLOTTE, NC mint..

10,200 mintage

He also found the 1827 capped bust dime and 1853 quarter from the same small 20 foot circle. All in all we had a great day between the four of us, but Coach kicked our butts. We found several eagle buttons, and other CW relics but no other coins.

Thanks for looking and congrats Coach!!

Amazing recoveries! Your generosity in sharing the plowed site did not go unnoticed. Beautiful gold coin!

Nice! Too bad it has the "C" mintmark. That's one year you want no mintmark at all as they're worth over $50k in that condition.

Who doesn't like a gold coin, great find for your mate.

If only I had your silver tongue & could get my farmers to deep plough, I would be kicking butt right now, I hope you thank him well!

Beautiful coin, great find....... Too bad you didnt find it or that your buddy is not a member...... Coin doesn't qualify for the banner since found by a nonmember.....We have had several votes for it for banner, but to be a banner find it has to be found by a member while a current member.........

Thanks for the response. We knew it wasn't eligible but it was something he asked me to share.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. I am a member of Treasurenet but Jeff shot all the video and is real comfortable on the computer. I have found a ton of stuff thanks to Jeff motivating me to get out and hunt with him. Our hunt was with Skully and Mike from Fisher Detectors which added to my excitement because I found my first coin hunting with some great people! The later coins were some thick icing on a great cake. Thanks again for all of the support. Hogcoach
