Finally found my gold coin!.... x2

[umrgolf]

Ok, Not really ... but before looking, the craziest part about this find is that I was at a completely different spot 20 miles from the coin spill. Kind of strange that these turn up 4 days after my buddy pulled a gold coin.


Today a couple friends and I went out to one of the other camps that I've hunted quite a bit this last year. We all found some bullets and I ended up with a couple button backs, a flat button, and a J-hook. Even though they aren't real gold, I still think the fob or chain with two fashioned 1864 1 dollar gold coins is a great find.... And call me crazy, but I like these as much as the real thing! They will be proudly displayed in this year's relic case.

The weird thing about them is they're dated 1864 but have the earlier Liberty Head instead of the Princess Head that was on the 1864 coins I know they were just a fashion item, but everything else about them seems fairly accurate aside from the lack of the words "Dollar" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". Btw, they are the exact same size as the dollar gold coins.

If anyone has an idea what these came from, please share. A watch fob was my guess.

Thanks for looking,

-Jeff

You should have stuck with the gold behind door number 1!

No kidding right! The first gold coin is still behind door number 3 about 5 miles away in Coach Croft's relic case... just a misdemeanor right?
