El Dorado 964 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Congrats on finding the Holy GrailMy one and only gold coin was one recovered from a nicely gold embedded crevice while dredging. It was an 1852 California Gold Half Dollar. It was nice to make the connection with that miner in 1852 that first cleaned out the crack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
