🥇 BANNER A Little Gold Coin From France Found In The Canadian Wilderness

[Backbacon]

Hey folks, I haven't posted any of my finds here in awhile and I hope that everyone enjoys seeing this one. I love to hunt Native Artifacts and older Relics out in the bush and came across this coin beside a portage that has been used for years and years. I don't get too many signals while bush whacking so I dig everything that goes beep. This coin was a few inches under some mud and rocks on the edge of the river. I can't believe that I actually found this while looking for Artifacts, found a nice little stone knife for my troubles that day as well. This is probably my first and last gold coin that I will ever find but will be returning to pound the heck out of that site again this Fall or early Spring. Maybe the person who lost this years ago had more in his pockets that day? This is by far the oldest coin that I have ever found and was shaking for hours after digging it. Thanks for looking and good luck to all of you in your future hunts.

great idea of looking along a river and a portage with you detector. Note to self, always check near waterways and at rural paths /roads! Great find!

very nice congrats

Amazing find!! Was it quite the hike to reach that portage spot? I'm sure your walk back from there was a lot easier than the walk in! Congrats!

Great find!! Some people hunt a life time and never find any gold coins. Have you found out what it's worth. Thanks for sharing.

Not a very long walk in and the same coin is up on E-bay for about $260 ungraded. Here's s couple of more photos.

good find,i herd that the indians would play games with the white mans money,like how far they could throw it,as it was no good to them

I'm pretty sure the Aboriginal people's weren't throwing around gold coins a hundred years or so ago
it was valuable to everyone then as it is now
