5/5/25 Report - A Few Gold Coin Jewelry Finds From Florida and the Treasure Coast. Sedwick Auction. Identifying Counterfeit Coins.


 Written by the TreasuureGuide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.


Mounted coins are very popular and sell for very good prices.  You can see that in recent Sedwick treasure auctions.  Mounted gold coins can be found on Florida beaches.  Here are some examples of gold coin jewelry found while metal detecting.

Above is one example of a gold coin pendant found on a Florida beach.  In my experience Dos Pesos are the most commonly found mounted gold coins.  They are relatively small and inexpensive gold coins.

At least one Dos Peso gold coin ring was a surprise find from John Brooks beach.

Below is a U.S. 1853 gold coin pendant found after a storm on a ripped Florida beach.


1853 US One Dollar Coin.


And below is a mounted ancient gold coin on a heavy gold chain found in shallow water.





And below is a Mexico 2-escudo mounted on a gold ring, which was found the same weekend as an American Eagle gold coin similarly mounted on a gold ring.  




That is just a sample of the kind of gold coin jewelry that can be found with your metal detector.

I'm sure the current popularity of gold coin jewelry will once again be proved in the Sedwick auction starting on May 7.  Below is the auction schedule for the first two days.

As you can see the coin jewelry is scheduled for the 8th.
