Great find.

Why were you using your AT Pro and not your CTX?

I don't blame you, Rhode.

That coin makes me misty a bit as well.

Huge congrats and a banner, I am sure.

I can't even imagine what the numismatic value of a coin like that would be... Would be amazing... Assuming I survived the heart attack I surely would have had if I had dig it.

don't know if they are tears of joy or because of the hole in it - cuts greatly into its value
but still one of those finds of a life time :icon_thumright:

Just last week I told someone there probably aren't too many gold coins in the ground in CT, but lots in CA. Congrats, it's a nice one.
My best find in Woodstock so far (only 15 minutes away) is a '44 Walker.......trade ya?
