🥇 BANNER Epic Coin Spill . . . !

[Mr.Merc]

I am posting this separately from Mark's (49r Relics) post so I can answer questions, introduce myself and post pictures.

As Mark said, we were lucky to find a few new sites that we could detect on after he did some research. Me, Mark (49r Relics) and Ron Swenson (Ron CA) were all on this hunt and we all started detecting the site, spread out in different directions. It was my first day out with my new XP Deus so coming from a Minelab I knew I had better step my game up with Mark and Ron swinging CTX's. It was literally my first good repeatable signal that started this off. One thing to keep in mind is none of these were hard to hear and any decent detector on the market would have heard any of these. And any one of us 3 could have been the first to find one these. But it was definitely my day as I dug that 1864 Seated Half (I was lucky enough to have dug my first seated half earlier in the year) so I was pretty jazzed when this popped out. It was too late to video it because I had already popped it out. The rest of the hunt is history now but it could have been any of us!!

We went back to this site several times and countless hours were spent searching for more. Only relics, no more coins from this site.

Thank you for all the comments on the other thread!

Talk about "calm, cool, and collected". You guys get the award for that too! AWESOME video!

Hi There. Great score.

If I was you I would get one of these

And I would use it every four inches from your find, at least thirty foot square. Tedious but tried and tested.

Good Luck

My hunting buddy turned me on to Ron Swenson videos and so I watched te video of this hunt recently, and all the others, what an amazing hunt!!!! Being in NW Oregon, we don't find too much of interest, at least I dont! Sure makes me want to plan a road trip to California this spring!!! Congratulations on a hunt of a life time! I hope you all have more!

Ok Andrew, you're up again! I've watched you find you halves and 1/2 eagle, I've watched Mark find his 3 double eagles and then a fourth and finally I saw Ron find his 1/2 eagle. All the while finding awesome gold nuggets here and there! You 3 amigos are awesome, so lets see some more gold on gold with silver thrown in, lol. Great research too! Good luck finding more. Dug
