    I hear quite often about how lucky we are here on the East Coast with all the colonial and large copper finds, but whenever I see one of those West Coast gold finds, I get green with envy!

    I guess the grass is always greener on the other side!

    Congratulations on a terrific haul!!!

    I cannot remember a more powerful posting on here except maybe Night Stalker who found a whole brick-lined pit filled with burlap-wrapped gold coins (and his find was crazy even w/out pictures)...this is an incredible find, especially considering how it appears to be just dropped randomly in the middle of nowhere.
    The idea someone proposed of them being "dropped while galloping away from a posse" is not entirely without merit....the fact that the immediate area was searched futher and produced nothing supports a sudden drop and not a cache.
    I would look at the saddle you referred to as the probably route a rider might take on horseback and try to extend the path in either direction from the perspective of someone riding a horse quickly through that unique topography. Then sweep this path say 10ft wide for some distance in either direction from your hot spot.

    That's some serious coinage!...congrats on the banner.

    Thanks for the replies!Danimal I also think the possibility of an ambush or of a fleeting drop is a strong possibility.we searched the area hard in a 50 yard circle,but we will be searching a little more in depth on our next trip.I am presently researching deeper to try to connect some dots.There was a lot of Spanish activity in the area.Allen I am glad you are trying to get your family involved.I got my Dad and cousin involved several years ago and now we are quite the team!Its a good opportunity to spend some quality time together,and you dont have the trust issuesthat I have ran into in the past.

    O.K.......I have a life long friend that owns a ranch in Calif.that has a lot of Spanish history on it.It was kind of out of my normal type of site of hunting and It is about four hours from my home but I have been researching the area for some time,I finally got down there to do some hunting.As we were on our way to one of our suspect spots we were swing away when my cousin stops and digs a signal and yells something which I couldnt hear,but I could see that he was holding up a large silver coin!I ran over o him and seen that it was a Seated Half dollar!!!I have wanted to dig one for sometime!It was an 1858 "S", mint and it unbelievable condition!!I was ooggling it as he stands up and swings his detector once and says "look at this,I bet its another one!!"He was right!1862 Seated half!!!I am wanting to break his detector now!I couldnt beleive it.So I stand up and start swinging and get a ZINC PENNY reading,I am thinking if I dig a penny right here I am going to scream!So I turned the plug over and out rolls a GOLD COIN!!!(just as seen in the picture)I did scream!I also made quite a spectacle of myself.It is a 1863 $10 "S",mint.....only 10,000 minted!!!So after numerous high fives and yea hoos!(good thing we were out in the middle of no where)The next signal my cousin digs was a 1855 Seated Dime.Then I get a booming half dollar - dollar signal.....I am thinking here it is,my half!I was right!!1861 "S' mint.It isnt in as perfect condition as my cousins but hey I dont care!!All of this happened in about 10-15 minutes in about 10 foot square!!Unbelievable and by far the most incredible feeling I have ever experienced in detecting!It is now locked up in a safe deposit box and I miss her!!!
    Who the heck would have dropped all those just about right on top of each other.  But seriously I really do hate you, and your cousin! Sad

    I've been watching this site since the beginning of it and this rates one of the best threads I've ever seen here. In fact, for the type it is--I'd say it's the best!

    Congrats and what an experience thumbsup

    I have a friend who also hunts your general area and he and his buds dig thousands of Spanish cobs and coins (some 1600's gold) every year. They located an early trading post site which is now plowed field. The plows spread a cache all over an area about the size of a football field.

    Most of the cobs are copper maravedis dating in the 1600's. After discussing these finds we came to the conclusion the Spanish must of fallen to an Indian raid and were never able to recover their cache of loot.

    You live in a very exciting area!

    Thanks again all of you!I have made the banner before but never in 30 minutes!!!Thats awesome in itself!We thought it might have been a cache too but there is nothing around?It has never been plowed of bull dozed.It is actually a saddle between two little valleys,it might have been an ambush point or dropped galloping away from a posse??Dont know?
    Why were you detecting there?

    Banner what did the gold appraise for $27k? Great find did you go over that site in all metal mode bet there is more metal to be found someone might have died in that spot you will probably find belt buckle among other things.

        It appraised well.We hammered the site,no buckles,buckles are what I hunt for,none to be found there though.We thought and still do that something bad did happen there but didnt find anything else to prove that.      The soil was kind to them,and they were all fairly shallow 6 inches max.Thanks!!!
