1849 D $5 gold piece
Found my 14th gold coin last Thursday night. 1849 D $5. A friend and I had been researching from old traveller and stage routes in our state. In addition to this beauty, I also got an 1825 Bust half. My friend got a 177x Spanish one reale, and a 1911 s barber dime from this site. Relics from this site are also shown here. Lots of fun!

Very nice finds. I can't wait to find my first gold. It might be soon or maybe take some time but some day I really hope to.
There are 10 types of people, those who know binary, and those who don't!

Not counting the fabled story of the fellows at the fort site in Utah (who found 20 to 30 gold coins each), Does anyone know of anyone who's found more than 14 singular gold coins? Ie.: singular numismatic losses, not a cache, not set in jewelry, etc.... ?

I am impressed. But not so much about your need to toot your own horn. Really Tom?

l have found 9 individuals. but it has taken 35 years. so : just short of 4 years average per find. so as you can see they don't come easy !! Hutch.

Tom - aren't you the guy who used to pull gold coins from the CA beaches after big El Nino storms? Looks like you're continuing to be a gold coin magnet. In addition to the coins that's a bunch of nice relics you dug. And great job on the research. That's what it takes to put you on the best spots nowadays. Nice going!
