🥇 BANNER Searching for Sharps rifle parts nets another GOLD coin!

[Ironman!]

Some of you TNETers might remember my post on Dec. 8th 2009, of my find of a lifetime, being an 1871 CC $5 gold coin. If you remember I was searching for the barrel to a pepperbox frame that I had found on a prior hunt.

Well I did the same thing on July 5th (last week) searching for more pieces to a Sharps rifle that I have found multiple parts for. I was fortunate enough to have found another $5 gold coin, an 1870 S! This makes my 6th gold coin being found, and my 3rd in 2 yrs. and 7 months. I took a hiatus from the forums last year and didn't post an 1847 O $2.5!

Thanks for looking!

I attached a few field pics., the rest of the finds from the outing on the 5th, parts to the Sharps rifle, and the $2 1/2 gold coin from last year!

Congrats on another gold coin dude! Like another post said, most of us will go a lifetime without digging a gold coin.

Maybe I missed it before but were you using the MXT? If so, what was the VDI?

halfdime - Thanks halfdime! It's funny you say that, as my username use to be Lucky Larry!! That name was given to me by my hunting buddies at the time back in the later 80's early 90's, because of my high rate of success, even back then!!!

Awsome find on both rifle parts and Gold your coins look in great shape would value them at around 21/2 ef to au conditon 6 to 10 grand and the other at 2 to 7 grand so the hobby has given you quite an investment As always gold is awsome when you dig it... Congrats on the banner
