Awesome finds!  That $5 is an early one, darn near a Classic Head and a first year Liberty Head!  Interesting array of coin types and date ranges, fricking awesome, congrats to your family legacy and your bro for his killer finds!

Congrats to your brother on finding his first gold coin, hopefully many more to come. I and my Dad (96 years young) have yet to find our first gold coin. My wife found a 1899S $5.00 gold coin on a club outing to a ghost town several years ago, maybe this year it will happen.

With the 6" coil too, that ground in the background looks intimidating with the little 6" coil.  So much ground, so little coil 🙂

Great job, nice looking coil too. 

You are correct for most hunting.  He started out with the stock 11" and found a few coins in the area a couple days before.  Nothing was over 3 to 4" deep, so when we went back I realized a slower sweep in the area with a small coin might pull something else.  Well these 3 coins were not in the exact same spot, but still very close.  Also, the small coil gets in the bushes easier too.

Thats wonderful Gerry...it's amazing that there are still great finds like these to be had...two half dollars and a gold coin in one day...was it a virgin spot? or were you guys just expanding around an old spot you have detected before? After Goldbricks amazing find a few weeks ago I've become optimistic that anything is possible.

We were expanding from the gold camp and he just happened to go down hill and I went up.  Yes, anything is possible.
