Popular Post Gerry in Idaho Posted March 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2018 GOLD COIN ALERT. A HAND FULL of $5 US Gold Coins found today. Not only has he been a friend of our family for many years, my dad got him involved into metal detecting 20+ years ago and today was the PAY DAY. 1st his daughter digs a 1905-S $5, but then they dig 8 more. Congratulations to you both. Gold nuggets come in many ways and they will remember this day forever. 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Great finds there! Right place at the right time. Does the finder of the first coin in a stash get credit for all the others also? Mitchel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strick Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Amazing...were some of them in the same hold or were they scattered over a small area? Also where would the $5 gold coin ID on the e trac? I assume it would be similar to the 3030.. strick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the coins were together at one times and got scattered from the tractors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU_Solitude Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Gerry, was this an Idaho find or elsewhere? I'd rather have that than most nuggets! (Most.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northeast Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Beautiful finds. You say they are $5 gold coins. I assume $5 value at the time they were created. What do they weigh? What purity of gold are they? Just the other day a lady I work with brought a Krugerand (I think that's how it is spelt) to work. A South African gold coin that weighs exactly an ounce. Beautiful . She has 7 of them that her father left her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
