First Gold

I found all of these within 1 or 2 inches of each other. I wasn't even going to dig this! I decided to cause I have found older coins in the same area before... A 1911 $5.00 Indian , 1903 Indian head penny and a nickle 1904.

needless to say I was shaking when I seen yellow! I scratched the bottom edge of the Nickle and two small nicks to the back of the gold piece. Just to the right of the eagle, not visible from my crappy pics!

I guess I am a little late to this party but I don't even remember seeing this in here. What an unreal find. As scarce as they are to find dirt digging that is just unbelievable. Please give us as many details as possible, where were you, how old was the place etc. Any chance for a close up pic of that coin? Congrats for sure!!!
