A Few Hours At The Gold Rush Camp


Recommended Posts


Still killing it!!! Congratulations.

Coin is a beautiful one real, Segovia mint. I have a half real from 1778 but the only thing you can really make out is the date. You win! 😃

I have two others that are rubbed so clear there are hardly any identifying marks. Gotta say the soil there is much better for buttons and coins, I rarely find any gilt buttons with any gold on them.

persistence pays off. Great finds.

Do you keep a spray bottle with you for silver and gold coins? Now that you are finding these stunners, you should.

I use this kinda as a joke but I learned early not to rub silvers and gold from them... For 5 bucks it could save a very valuable coin. 😀

I do not carry a spray bottle.  I just put them in a paper towel an into a large pill bottle in my bags or vest.  I rinse them at home.    I would lose that spray bottle real fast.  I have trouble keeping my pin pointer with me.  Need to make some improvements I guess.
