UNBELIEVABLE!!! 2 GOLD COINS IN 1 DAY.

[DiggerKid2003]

Today me, my dad, my grandpa, and my grandpa's cousin set out to check a field in search of civil war relics. We ended up finding nothing and decided to hit a small field next to it that looked like a house spot. For about an hour we only found early 20th century brass when finally I pop a plug and see it. A small bent gold coin. I freaked out and we cleaned it and figured out it was a 2.5 dollar. It's in horrible shape and was clearly in a fire because of the bubbles and it being bent. Excited from finding my first gold coin i took a break knowing if there's another i want my dad to find it because he's never found one either. Sure enough, he comes walking towards us with a smile on his face and gold in his hands. His is a perfect 2.5 dollar with every bit of detail remaining and an 1861 date. We will probably never find one again and this is definitely our best find. Sorry for the sideways pics, dont know why they posted that way if anyone could flip them somehow I would appreciate it.

That’s a sign that you guys had better be searching that place for a LONG time Kid....you didn’t just walk in one day and find the only 2 Goldies there! You know that,I know that,your Dad,Grandpa and cousin know that....you very well might be working on a small hoard that’s been dragged around by the plow or other means. No matter what the case,a day like that won’t be forgotten. It’s great you and your Dad came out with your first gold coins,if that’s not a “father/son moment” I don’t know what is.

Whether a hoard or house fire left them for you to find I'd bet that there is more gold waiting for ya in that field, get out there and pound that site to death!

Finding a real gold coin in the dirt is one of the greatest thrills you will ever experience with your metal detector. It's a damn hard thing to do in America. You will always remember it.

Good job, kid. And tell your daddy I said "welcome to the club"!

You find gold. You selflessly wish for your Daddy to find one. He finds a better one. A better T-hunting story couldn't be written. The finds and the Daddy-time: I'm envious of you in the best of ways, brother.
