What’s overlooked is most fords become bridges and they all can be seen from google earth. In such a case the coins were in a flood at the ford. The best tool to use is a 3D metal detector which can see through the ground up to 26 feet deep. It sank deeper into the ground out of reach of a normal metal detector which only does inches under the ground. Years ago people had to cross the water on foot or with animal, years later they will make a bridge for cars above it. Fords become places where bridges are built (normally)
Haha at first I thought you meant most fords became bridges meaning pickups were drove over as a bridge. My grandpa had a diversion dam on a creek and literally the dam you drove on or bridge was over the old cars. I think they had a small culvert for over flow so it wasn’t really a bridge but it’s what I thought of.
Gold today is worth way more than 10 times what it was when these slugs were lost. When these were lost gold was $20 an ounce. So its went up in value 100X what it was. With gold around $2000 an ounce
It's an old treasure story, it's not like that story was printed yesterday, derrrrrr, probably a story from the magazine back in the 70's..... get a clue.
Vaden You’re thinking about it how I used to back in college. If you’re a Keynesian and believer in fiat currency yes you’ll think gold has gone up from $20 to $2000. But if you spend a few years reading books and questioning and learning different things like Austrian economics or that the federalreserve is privately owned paying a 6%dividend you’ll question things. Gold didn’t go up but fiat dollars have been printed so much it’s like Monopoly money. After the Rona like 7 trillion was made up out of thin air. But yes the gold coins themselves will have gone up in value simply because of their age and scarcity as a collectors piece. But gold itself is money not really going up or down. Remember when the free mason fdr president of the U.S. banned gold in the Great Depression he devalued the dollar. He said gold is now worth $35 an ounce not $20. He said gold is worth more nominally or dollar wise but did gold really change in value because a politician said so? I don’t think most people are that dumb. I think most people realized the government stole from them. If you had to turn in gold and got paid $20 and then the government said it’s worth $35 you got robbed. Gold didn’t change but the government changed societys view of it cause the government has a military and cops and can use violence. Also remember there are paper markets where gold and silver can be manipulated. It’s why it’s hilarious some bitcoiners want Wall Street to adopt bitcoin. But if wallstreet adopts bitcoin and uses ETFs they can use paper contracts to manipulate the price. And if black rock controls enough bitcoin they can vote to change Bitcoin to create more of them or whatever.
22 years ago me and my brother witnessed a gold treasure found in Fresno California by a Mexican farm worker,45 20 dollar gold coins ,dated 1886 thru 1898,very beautiful coins he said that he had actually found 85 coins all 20 dollar coins but that he had already sent 40 of the coins to Mexican with a brother, the coins were found at 2am in the morning while the farm worker was working ground for his boss.
I feel like somebody might have found the gold coins, took it, and said nothing. Would it be possible for one to trade those on the black market? When I hear these treasure tales, I can't help but to wonder if the gold is really out there. Another thing, what if Mare had attempted to cross the river with the gold? Imagine the gold coins spilling out of his sack when he and his horse was overcome by the water. The coins would have littered the river and possibly caried for some distance by the currents. Has anyone ever really thoroughly searched the river?
There probably is stuff. But we don’t know if it’s there. Try to say something nobody else has yet. It’s in the wind. Depends probably how you live your life. It won’t be a rich person no matter what. That’s how it is
Always enjoy these tales and treasures everywhere!
Glad you like them!
This would be hard to find but would be worth a fortune today! Great story!
Yes it was!
But if find something it will be worth it, not just about the gold but also the historical value

👍👍thanks for the share partner. 🤠
Great story friend thanks
Thanks for listening!
Wow that’s awesome
They always use too much dynamite and seal up the entrance or die before they can find their way back to the gold
That happens sometime in treasure stories
Thank you for the post! ✌🏼😊
Thanks for watching!

Yeah that's absolutely true

They were $50 gold pieces (2 1/2 ounces), not $1.50. Also, they were octagonal not hexagonal. Otherwise, good story.
