The $$alpha$$-decay fine structure of $$^{179}$$Hg and $$^{177}$$Au was studied using decay spectroscopy at JYFL, Finland. Heavy-ion fusion reactions ($$^{82}$$Kr + $$^{100}$$Ru and $$^{88}$$Kr + $$^{92}$$Mo) produced the nuclei. A new $$alpha$$-decay with E$$alpha$$ = 6156(10) keV was observed in $$^{179}$$Hg, populating an excited state in $$^{175}$$Pt. The internal conversion coefficient for the transition de-exciting this state was measured. In $$^{177}$$Au, a new $$alpha$$-decay with E$$alpha$$ = 5998(9) keV was observed, populating an excited state in $$^{173}$$Ir. Two de-excitation paths were seen from this state, and a new 215.7(13)~keV transition was observed to depopulate another excited state in $$^{173}$$Ir. The $$alpha$$-decay properties were analyzed using reduced widths and hindrance factors.
