I got out woods hunting this after noon and started a new area on the side of a hill.
It wasn't long and I got a 75 reading on the DFX and I'm thinking silver.
I started digging and I see leather so I widen the hole to be carefull.
The leather was two inches down and the lowest point of the leather was six inches.
I pulled at the leather pouch and it came out and the coins slide out on the dirt
and that's when I seen two gold coins laying on top of each other.
Man I finaly got gold and wasn't sure what they were untill I got home right after I showed MPfish
My neighbor and detecting friend. He keep puting one in his pocket and I was saying don't rub them.
They both are 1914-s Saint-Gaudens,Twenty.Dollar gold. There is writing on the edge
e plu.ri.bus u.num. "Latin. One out of many. The motto of the U.S." and 13 stars.
Yes i'm very happy . It's my first and second gold coins ever. I have pounded that place many a day and a lot of days I came home with nothing.
I'll try to borrow mikes camera with macro setting to get better pic's since my camera is only for general picture takeing. I hope you all can experiance the finding of a gold coin or two.

BANNER. Thought it wasn't possible.

Ed Asner's brother ran a record store here in Kansas City in the 70s, and had one of those hanging around his neck on a chain. You have two.

Re: Saint-Gaudens,Twenty.Dollars

When I first saw the title of your post, I was expecting another one of those Pine Tree Shilling type of hoaxes that we see here in the forums from time to time, but after reading your post I am amazied. You have caught not one, but two of the Great White Sharks of the metal detecting world. You have bowled 2 consecutive 300 games. You have gotten 2 holes in one!

Simply AMAZING!!

I need to request one favor though:

Can you please take a clearer photo? Maybe try the macro mode, or stepping further back and using the zoom to get a clear shot? I am sure I am not alone in wanting to drool over yuor amazing find.

Banner for sure (if you can get a clearer shot)!

Those are beautiful. A truly amazing find! Can you give any background on what happened in those woods? Obviously you need to keep the location a secret but what made you choose that location?
