this 1870-S $2.50 gold coin was inside of an old ladies compact!! I found the compact, and my son found the coin while cleaning out the compact for me. so I consider it both our find!! jd

OMG, that's so TOTALLY awesome!

(U R making me type like a teenager, LOL).

Seriously, though, just looking at that picture of it peeking out of the dirt amps up my adrenaline a little bit.

j.d. I've been watching this post since you first poted it and it has been a great motivation for me.

I found a compact just like the one you found the gold coin in but mine only held dirt!

This is the most likely way anyone will ever find a gold US coin.

This is one reason I dig those large deep iron targets (cache in metal can).

Stay with it j.d.? 8)
