Haven’t posted here in a while, but todays find has blown my mind and I wanted to share it.
Today I was digging an old oyster shell road near downtown that has been recently disturbed by construction.
Last week I found a 1845 LC and a 1853 half dime at this location.
Decided to go back and made one of my best finds ever.
1852 10 dollar California gold rush era, gold coin.
In…. Wait for it….
South Mississippi.
I never knew this variation existed.
First I thought bottle cap. Then I saw the writing and I thought car wash token, or arcade token. Then flipped it over and saw the eagle. OMG ten dollar gold. Still can't believe it.
Likely dropped by a wealthy New Orleanian who vacationed here during the summer.

Howdy neighbour :hello:
Congratulations on getting it up onto the Banner.:headbang:
 

I just have to add my congratulations! I don't think I have ever been so jealous of a single find. That is an amazing recovery!
 

Now I’m going to have to google the saddle ridge hoard to see if any of those were like that
 

Congratulations on both the find and making the banner.
