I guess my point is never give up on a can dig. One day it will be a huge score.

A big congrats, that right there is what we all dream of! It's out there, we just have to find it.
Pretty amazing that not a single silver coin was in the mix, but who needs pesky silver when your digging gold
I just found my first gold coin earlier this month, so I somewhat know the feeling you had, but not quite to that magnitude: https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=254668
Congrats again, that's just incredible
FIRST off, I have NO WORDS for this. Just mind-bogglingly incredible! Highest congratualtions, TrashMaster.
Now, just to comment on your post, Cal_Cobra...
As for the no silver coins included thing...
As I understand it, prospectors would often take their finds to the nearest U.S. mint, back in the day. The mint would weigh the gold, and then pay the prospector in -- yep, gold coin. So, finding a "pouch" of sorts with both gold nuggets/flakes/dust, and gold coins, makes sense to me -- as does the lack of silver coins...

I'd happily trade every copper this east coaster ever has or ever will dig for just one of those beauties!
Every region has its advantages, make the most of yours!
Hey! My Wife has that exact same set of little porcelain sculptures!
What are the odds of that? Incredible!
Really though, what can a guy say? Thats such a dream find...no words seem adequate to congratulate you ..Nice write up and pics about the experience, so a big thank you for sharing this with us!
What an incredible cache!! If I found something like this I don't know if I'd post it on a public forum. I'd be afraid the tax guy might catch up with me
I thought about that. But they aren’t key date coins and it isn’t a hoard. You would be surprised how little they are actually worth compared to what I thought initially. Dug coins=XF most of the time anyways...

The 1847-C $2.50 may be worth as much as the rest of them combined, depending on the grade
