DolanDave Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Doc, Congrats to your friend , that is a fantastic find. I personally believe Gold Basin area was being mined before 1861, being a trail to take people back to the Colorado. A few years ago, I found an old engraving on a rock with a date 1851 out at Gold Basin, and with your buddy finding an 1852 gold coin, I believe prospectors started prospecting the area in the 1850's. The oldest coins I have found at Gold Basin date from 1920's... Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Stunning find and story to go with it. I have personally only seen one of D, GA gold coin recovered and it was here in Boise, 20+ years ago. Thanks for sharing Doc and hats off to your customer for truly discovering a Find of a Lifetime.
