The privately-minted fractional gold coinage of California is one of the most mysterious areas of American numismatics. Relatively little is known of their role in commerce if any, denominated in dollars, half dollars and quarter dollars, . The experts disagree on whether these coins actually served as money or were merely sold as curiosities and charms. Whatever the right story, California fractional gold pieces are a delight to collect and have attracted many adventurous numismatists.

	US Box Plate and Much More...Metal Detecting Civil War Relics !!! DP71369 and I went out metal detecting in Louisiana for civil war relics and old coins at a new spot we got permission on. I DID MY RESEARCH first...We hunted hard & found a very NICE assortment of Civil War Relics associated with a very old homesite and a US Campsite to include a US Cartridge Box Plate, buttons, bullets, spur parts, brass, 1889 shield nickel etc.... Thanks.	From: Cajuncoinhunter Views: 656 33 ratings

	Recovering Relics #55 - My 2011 Metal Detecting Finds 2011 was a great year for metal detecting and I made a lot of nice finds. In this video, you'll see all of the best finds I made this year. Some of my best finds included a 1964 gold class ring, a pre-Civil War eagle buckle, colonial buttons & buckles, and various other relics. This year I also found some great old coins. I found my first Mercury Dimes, Large Cents, Indian Head Pennies, and Buffalo Nickel. The oldest coin of the year was an 1818 Large Cent. Overall, it was a great year for metal detecting, and I'm hoping 2012 will be even better. Good luck and happy hunting in 2012 everyone!	From: RecoveringRelics Views: 803 23 ratings
