Great story Strick! I felt like I was there and wished that I was....Love those gold rush sites but i haven't hunted or dug in them since I was a teenager with my father and uncle who were born and raised In Smartsville.

Thanks for the excellent  write up and the pictures.

That was a very nice find and I bet it was a heart stopper when you found it and held it for the first time.

Good luck on your next hunt and stay safe out there.

Nice spot for a day out, shame it wasn't a real goldie but still a good find regardless.

Very kind of you to keep the wireless lovers happy. 🙂

Lovin' that wireless. 😏

9" coil is the best for sniffing out stuff especially when it gets woodsy or the ground is uneven. It also keeps things light if you have to walk a long way.

Really beautiful place you're hunting there. 👍

That's a fine lookin' piece , even if it wasn't a coin.👍

So many rural places look like that one.    Not all have as good a chance for gold though. 

There must be a gold coin there somewhere. The ground demands it !

That's what ground balance really means , they just don't put it in the instructions ......

Great story and photos, strick, and the that old "bling" is gorgeous, congrats on pulling that one out! As you know, folks in the mining camps were dirt poor and that gold plated piece could have costed a fellow 6 months pay. It's in great condition and a rare find, well done!
