HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE

[gold fever pete]

Hello All, First thanx for looking. Went to the beach today with my buds Chris and Ross. The surf was angry and the waves coming in at 4 second intervals. My pocket was full of change I had walked from the pier and had gone about 3 life gaurd towers in the dry.. It had rained so the sand was packed and easy to walk on. The tide was up when I started and now it was going out so I hit the wet and water for a bit. Zig Zagging up and down the wet sand. I was using my CTX (man I love that machine) when I got a hit. It read 40, 41 40. I thought it was going to be another penny. When I looked in my scoop I thought I had found another foreign coin. ( it was I just didn't know what) After awhile when I got to an unmanned tower I pulled all the change out and my loupe. I could not believe what I had found. I focused on 1/4 ORO and I knew then it was gold...

happy dance happy dance happy dance. This is my second gold coin. The first was a Panda from China, and it was a 10th of an ounce. Thanks for looking. GFP When I wrote what it was the front slash didn't show.. It is not 14 ounce. lolAttached to this post:

Why barely any votes for banner? There's another gold jewelry coin on right there that everyone was on board with being banner. This should be up there too. My vote is going in.

The beach I go to has a lot of foreign depositors. So once in awhile when you look in your scoop you will see a brass coin. Last year I had cataract surgery. I can see far away but up close I am hopeless. I saw the gold color but thought it was brass. When I got to the life gaurd station I pulled it out so I could use my loupe. That's when I saw the word oro... Didn't pee my pants but I did do the happy dance while the folks around me laughed at the old guy. Who cares at that point.. I laughed all the way home.
