I was in the woods a few years ago and found a old rusty car. Inside the car was a cache of gold coins. I sadly I dropped a octagonal coin I could not find it. When I got home I did research and found out that most of them were tokens, but one was a authentic California fractional gold coin. Also, Now that my grandma sold that property I can not go back. Anyway are some pictures.

P.S. someone one anther thread said it was fake but I have found the same one slabbed on ebay plus many other "un"slabbed ones. and I'm sorry that my picture is blurry these coins are extremely tiny.

P.P.S. The other post I posted was before I found out they were authentic and I also posted it in the wrong section.

Says in the first post his grandma sold the property so he can't go back :icon_scratch: So she gave him permission to hunt on property she sold? How does that work? And I would not have left a gold coin I dropped unless I dropped it down a well or something.
