Popular Post ROCKINGCM Posted September 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2021 Two recent trips with the trusty Deus. Still the same gold rush camp from the previous posts under my other name CVISChris. The 5 Fanc was maybe only 2 inches deep but had a nail close so it sounded weird but showed 96/97. The little half Real was in a rock foundation and was found with the pin pointer. Not sure about the gold gilt thing. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_in_CA Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Oh my gosh, that is absolutely beautiful ! Drips with history ! Strange how many French coins were showing up here in CA during that super early American period. Was France one of the countries where Gold rush fever struck, and thus French folks were joining the rush to CA ? We've found a few French coins of that era (whatever date would have been in circulation @ the early 1850s) at coastal sites of the same G.R. date range. Good job and great pix ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Outstanding finds, Chris. That 5 franc coin is huge! Bet it blew your mind to have the detector max out on something and it wasn't crap. ? Even the jewelry looks French. ? Cool half Reale too.

ROCKINGCM Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Tom, so far American, Spanish, Swedish and now a French coin. It is such a thrilling place to detect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have that kinda weird overload sound in my head! I’ll dig those from now on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
