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. 18939.jpeg 18941.jpeg18943.jpeg18944.jpeg Sorry for the sideways pics, dont know why they posted that way if anyone could flip them somehow I would appreciate it.

I don't think that's ever happened that I know :dontknow: Congrats to you and your Dad!!
It's really lucky that there was one for both of us. Maybe there's more? Who knows. We will go back and dig every single target in search of another.
 

You’ll never forget that day, enjoy the awesomeness of a double gold coin day, unheard of accomplishment!
 

Save one for Grandpa :thumbsup:
 

Great story. I like the fact that you stopped and gave your dad a shot.
I have a similiar story that I will share one day.
By the way that one your dad found is in great condition!!
 

Congratulations!
 

Amazing luck!!! Most go a lifetime without finding one! Beauties!
 

My dad and the other guy that was with us have been digging for 35 years or longer and they had never seen a gold coin dug in person. I think they were as excited as me and the boy
