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.
