Return to Coin Spill site... Hunting bud finds UNBELIEVABLE GOLD coin

[umrgolf]

Hey guys, it had been a couple weeks since I found the coin spill with the six silvers. I went back 2 days after the first 6 and found an additional 1842-O dime. Well, the next day I talked the landowner into plowing six plots in the field for me, including the spill site.

Fast forward to today.... Mike Scott and Gene Scullion from Fisher Metal Detectors came into town to hunt with me and my hunting buddy Coach Croft.

Five minutes after we get out of the truck I hear Coach yell "HOLY #$%@, A GOLD COIN" So the three of us run over to see this coin, and FOLKS it is BEAUTIFUL.

Its an 1841-C $2.5 gold coin.. The C mintmark really threw me for a loop so I looked it up on my phone. Minted at the CHARLOTTE, NC mint..

10,200 mintage

He also found the 1827 capped bust dime and 1853 quarter from the same small 20 foot circle. All in all we had a great day between the four of us, but Coach kicked our butts. We found several eagle buttons, and other CW relics but no other coins.

Thanks for looking and congrats Coach!!

Jeff, I had mentioned a while back that you were going to find gold considering all the silver you were finding.....I just thought it would be YOU that would find it! Coach had a day he will never forget. Your gold day is coming, i can feel it

Hey man, its just great to see something of that magnitude come from the dirt. I am still waiting on my gold coin, and it hopefully it comes some day

Today was Coach Croft's day. There is no doubt he will remember it forever.

A class act to let Coach in on that site. That's a $750 coin in Grade F-12 and I'm not a coin person or grader. As Tennessee Digger said, hunt that site to death before someone else does. I saw your coin spill finds on the Fisher Finds site-looked great. Congrats to Coach. HH, Quindy.

And here I get excited when I dig a penny instead of a pull tab even though I dug a pretty green tab the other day lol

 

[Gunrunner61]

Awesome....................It's all that comes to mind!.............HH

I bet the Fisher guy was swinging at 100 mph after that was found!! Nice job gotta love the farmer for ploughing the field. What did he think of the gold coin?
Nice find.

 

[ynpto804]

Awesome find. I'm sure they are from the same change purse.
