I was hunting at the 47 acres this afternoon. I was behind the hunting cabin. I dug about the 50th signal for a pull tab/nickle, and up came an 1879 $5.00 Gold Piece!!!! I was freaking out. I swear that Winchester must have heard me scream "Look what I found". Winchester is about 4 miles away. ;D This place is finally paying off.

This is my bst find ever. I'm really on cloud 9.

That's awsome!

Is it me or is it the year of the gold coin?

There's been a hand full already this year here on TNet and it's only mid-May!

That's it! It must be my turn I guess. Anyone else want to join in on the "2007 Gold Coin Club"? ;)

Congrats Digginman!

:o :o :o That is a beautiful coin! Congratulations. Wow, I don't know what I'd do if I found one like that. I'd probably die from shock! Again just proves the old admonition - DIG EVERY SIGNAL.

(And if somebody doesn't know it yet - tune your detector so nickels sing out because nickels and gold are in the same range.)

Way to go DigginMan...how deep was it?......What mode were detecting you in....we want DETAILS!..Great find!

Thanks, Copperhead. It was only about 5 inches deep. I've only been digging deeper signals. Anything shallower than 3 is usually a pulltab. Hunting property, lots of beer drinking. I usually hunt all metal and dig alot!!!

Thanks for asking.
