Just an incredible turn of events for that guy. TWO of 'em? A couple of feet apart? I think that almost qualifies as a "coin spill," and that would be a most AMAZING coin spill!

I'm awe-struck...

Pretty amazing.....and dang near walked away from most of it. I guess there is still hope.HH jim tn

Wonder what the coins in the metal thingy would have sounded on a GPX detector??
Probably not too good.
Or even a CTX??
And I wonder if this gent has considered getting a GPX and getting back in there and checking??
I would and likely would dig about anything the GPX made noise on.

Lordy!

Went from 0 to a bunch of gold coins quick!!

Could happen to any of us really.

Pretty good Christmas present if you ask me!!

Although the fellow is mum about location on those threads, yet if you study his posts from older times, it becomes apparent that he's doing CA gold rush type sites. So this current find is no doubt somewhere @ the west coast sites. Probably, like before, gold rush sites (eg.: cellar holes, rock ruins, tent-city zones, stage stop type locations associated with the gold rush era.

As such, I can tell you for a fact, it's NOT EASY. All such sites are riddled with iron, slag, bullet shells, overgrown, etc.... Stingy enough to get period coins from such sites. MUCH less a gold coin, and MUCH LESS a gold coin purse/cache. An amazing discovery, that I'm sure he worked and researched hard to get on to. A great couple of posts, for sure.

What a euphoric dream! History....... with (and of) international significance!

That "taco can" looks like an old Prince Albert tobacco can which was used in the olden days for storing just about anything.
