Back in January I found what I thought was a once in my life time find. A 1932 gold 10 Guilder coin. This morning I went out and found a few junk earrings and a couple coins. Then I came across this signal that reminded me of the gold earring I found the other day. I thought what the heck. What I saw in the scoop was yet another gold coin. A 1911 gold Sovereign! Relatively in the same area as the previous coin. Now I'm wondering how these coins got there. Thanks for looking and good luck out there!

If the dates on the two coins are anywhere close, you could be onto something really nice. Happy Hunting. Papa

Very nice. I would still love to find a gold coin of any denomination and nationality in any kind of ground - let alone from a beach environment. Still wondering which Dutch islands you frequent. :notworthy: Had nice time and a naice find in Aruba a while back whille I now think I spent way too much unproductive time on the French side during my visit to St Martin/St Marteen a couple years ago.

Hey, if you found two gold coins near to each other, you HAVE to look for more.
Numbers three and four might be just waiting for you.

Assuming you found these two on a beach, I'll bet you will be looking in that same area
every time you are nearby, especially after there has been any significant sand movement
from high tides, storms, etc.

Keep at it! I predict more big finds on the same beach.

What kind of detector and coil were you using? How deep were the coins?

You already have two banner finds, so why shouldn't it be three?
