Club outing ~ 14K gold ring & lots of clad! Also, returned the $10 Gold Coin!!

Our club (The Coil & Digger's Club of Lane County ~ cdclc.org) had our club outing/hunt at Coiner Park in Cottage Grove Oregon today. We had a lot of fun! We all found lots of goodies!

I found a 14K man's ring with three small diamonds made by ArtCarved ~ 125 modern/clad coins totalling $4.85 ~ a small silver ring, a pot-metal ring, and a small pendant (might be silver) that reads OREGON CAVES, OREGON with a image of person walking over a bridge into a cave.

After the club outing/hunt Ron and I drove out to Dorena so I could give back the 1910-S $10 Gold Coin to Stuart (Stuart's the land owner of where I found it).
Since March of this year I found a 1868 $10 gold coin, 1910-S $10 Gold Coin, 1912-S Barber Half dollar, 1908-S Barber Dime, and a 1902 V nickel. I put the 1910-S $10 gold coin in a air-tight holder and mounted it in the cover of a photo album and inside the album I put nice close-up pic's of all the other coins that I found on his property. It turned out real nice! Ron took pic's of the photo album cover and pic's of me presenting it to Stuart.

Actually it was no problem giving the 1910-S $10 Gold to Stuart! He let me have all the other coins, so I'm prefectly fine with it! He's happy, I'm happy ~ IT'S ALL GOOD!!

The first time Stuart let me detect his property was March 17 2007 ~ I found the 1868 $10 gold coin & the 1912-S Barber Half together just inches apart from each other. Needless to say I was super excited! I offered them to Stuart, but said I could keep them ~ my reaction to finding them was worth more to him than the finds themself. I was more than greatful for his generosity! He made a jokingly comment that the next gold coin I find he'll keep. then on July 15 2007 was the next time I got to detect his property ~ about 50 feet away from where I found the first gold coin I found a second gold coin ~ a 1910-S $10 eagle! So, giving this second gold coin to Stuart makes me feel like I truely got to pay him back for giving me the first one I found!

This is the most happy faces I have ever given to anyone. You my friend deserve even more! Two gold coins in a year, WTG, even better is presenting one back to the land owner! Great looking display case and what a wonderful thing to do.
May all your finds be golden! HH

Stuart has only owned this land for about four years ~ up until then it was only owned by one family. One family member that he knows was born in the 1930's. That guy has no idea why those coins were out in the field. The original house was there, but it burnt down before 1904. The current house was built in 1904 and sets about one hundred yards to the east of where the original house sat. So these coins had to be lost in the field after the original home burnt down ~ the coins date 1912, 1910, 1908, 1902, & 1868.

This place is just a stone throw from where the infamous train wreck scene from the old Buster Keeton movie THE GENERAL was filmed. If I remember correctly, this was the most expensive silent film ever made. Filmed in the early 1920's. . . . . . the train wreck scene itself cost over $40,000!!

Neil Is the man, he got me started in this hobby some 11or 12 years ago since that time we have had a lot of fun hunting together and by ourselves I live 750 miles away so we dont get together near enough but this summer I got invited to the gold field. I met Stuart and had a great day hunting I never found any gold that day but o what a wonderful day Neil is not just a great guy he is the best brother in law and best friend a guy could have. thanks Neil till the next treasure Kip
