first gold coin

[ds6191]

I don't post very often,basically I'm computer illiterate. But I have to share my brothers find. He asked permission from a co-worker to hunt his yard. It's a very big yard,in the middle of town. The house is over 100 years old and there used to be a horse barn on the property. The first time he checked the yard he found some wheats, clad and a standing liberty quarter.Well he got out today before the weather turned rainy and he again found clad and a barber dime.Towards the end of his hunt he found a 1914 Indian head half eagle gold coin. He still has only checked maybe half the property.Hopefully the weather will let him hit it a few more times. Needless to say we were extremely excited.
He has been on a great roll finding 3 silver half dollars and many other silver dimes and quarters. It's to bad the season is almost over,(Midwest winter). Thanks for looking, it took my 3 attempts to post Dan

To say nice gold would be redundant, as any gold is nice. Right? But gold coins are always appreciated. And often appreciate too.
