I found the 1914 coin on an old wagon road that connected the town of Dayton, Nevada to Virginia City, Nevada. I found the $5 coin in a dump in a ghost town in the Dexie Valley area of Nevada.

Thank you! May I ask - what was it that drew you to that particular part of that old wagon road?

That town disappeared a long time ago, because of a large mine that is there. But I found that dump a long time ago.View attachment 2180214View attachment 2180213View attachment 2180216

One day I went chukar hunting. I climbed to the top of a hill, and I was curious to see several paths. The next day I returned with my metal detector and to my surprise, along that path, I began to find many square nails.
