EPIC Hunt finds rare GOLD Indian Princess & Rare SILVER Lady Liberty

[Cal_Cobra]

Saying I had an epic weekend would be an understatement! I loaded the latest Equinox firmware update to try the new FE2/0 iron program, and it did not disappoint!

I've posted about trip reports from this site several times over the years. It's always been a fun site IMO, you just never know what you'll dig, and it dates back to the early 1800's with history into the 20th century. It saw it's share of the Spanish, Mexicans, Emigrants, and Americans. It's getting difficult, lots of flat iron still left, but good finds have been thinning out, easy finds have been gone for years. TomCA won't even hunt there any more.

This trip turned out to be absolutely EPIC! Unbelievable really, because there have been trips where neither Tom nor I have dug a single coin at this site, so to dig five period coins in one trip was astounding.

Now if these were just five common 1800's coins, I would've left there an extremely happy camper, but two out of the five turned out to be astounding finds!

An 1865-S Seated Liberty Dime AND a 1856-S INDIAN PRINCESS $1 GOLD PIECE!!! I am absolutely over the moon from this hunt!

I got all the coins on video, if you have a chance, take a look:



EDIT: Added group shot:





Without further ado:

Right after she was dug and I just ran some bottled water over her in the field:





Rinsed off under the faucet back in my room (no rubbing!!!):

I only watched about 10 mins of your video, but I just loved hearing about the history of your site.

Congrats on finding gold, solid research does payoff!

What a great place to hunt. Looks like a peaceful place where all the signals are old. I keep practicing my happy dance for when I find one someday. If you can picture Frankenstein doing the worm that will be me! Banner!!

Thanks for the banner vote, but oddly it's looking like a gold coin (a rare one at that) and few good seateds doesn't make the cut any more

Most of the signals are old, once in a while a pull-tab or clad coin sneaks in. Thanks for watching and the banner vote
