Gold Coins! Have you found one or more?

[spotz]

Ok! I read the post by nick1878. It is an awsom story but rare. So how about it? Many of us have found gold, rings, chains, pendants, charms, nuggets, ear rings etc, but few have found gold coins. Even less have more than one. Tell us about your find. What kind of area. What State. A little history. Spotz

Still looking Spotz. heard many a second-hand story but way too few first hand. So I guess most of it is still waiting for me out there. Don't worry, I'll leave you one or two.

Ok guys this is going to knock your socks off. I did a ton of research and found a site from the landowners brother one mile from where I found my cache. I asked the current owners if IU could metal detect. The wife said sure she finds big pennys in the garden all the time ( drool, wipe chin ). But had to wait and ask husband. Come to find out husband came hame heard about me and liked the idea. He went out borrowed a detector and found 15 gold coins scattered in his field about ten foot area.

And another, I was hot on the trail of something great. Get to the location and find a big pit with broken shards where my treasure should be. Swear these are true.

Everyone, keep looking, this stuff is out there!!!

Does "gold colored" count? LOL

I have found reasonably little gold coinage here in the states (though a fair bit of gold gold). A decent number of silver coins though.

I am currently two for five in trips to the UK for gold coins, and four for five in silver. In that other fifth that I didn't find silver, I found abnormal number of relics for me though so far. Love that UK hammered silver...
