Here it is my first Gold coin. I couldn't believe it. I have heard about people finding them right on top of the sand. I did. a very nice specimen. The Cut in it is just the plastic coating but it is prime. i have also posted the other coin that i found with it. I did not post all the 1000+ pull tabs I found. This made my day. I don't know what the price is for one of these. The pendant is 18K that holds the coin. I wish I could find the necklace that went with it. Please enjoy. I have the back on my profile.

I was stationed at Torri Station in Okinawa! Must be a lot of great places to hunt!
Any restrictions for hunting out there?
Moon Beach was the hot spot when I was there!

Very Nice!

Since you are the Pacific, it may have actually come from the island of Tuvalu!

All, I just was reminiscing some on the old Okinawa times. Now in the high desert and there is not any water around till it rains. I still have the coin and like many of you have said before I will always remember the time I found it. Now I just hope to find one here in gold country. I would go with finding a gold nugget if it comes my way.

Ju8vP3T, I did go to BC streeet and allot has changed over the years. It has been changed to the better. There are still a few clubs there but they are being forced to find another way. Also whisper alley. You must know where that is too including a wild place right out front of whisper alley.
