There i was at my favorite local park, heading towards the car, swinging on the way of course and I got a signal, I remember thinking, "Oh another pull tab probably" but it wasn't a pull tab, it shined back at me as if it was minted yesterday. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, is this a full sovereign? I had only seen them a few time in youtube videos, but there it was 1900 Queen Victoria Full Sovereign. I was shaking, I couldn't even drive, I had to wait a few minutes and chill out.

I am beyond thrilled.. I love this little coin. I love this hobby. Got it with the AT Gold my favorite detector.

Here is the entire 6-7 hour hunt. There was even a kids buried cache in a plastic box that was sealed in a ziplock bag. With 24 pennies a zippo and a plastic gem.

Yay I got Banner! awesome :) .. Thanks everyone , I am still so excited about this Sovereign, I bought a coin Bezel and I am getting a gold chain to wear it on , lol I want to wear it everywhere I go :)

LOL!!! I hope your joking! That coin could make banner again - down the road after you lose it again. Not even a good idea to carry it with you on a 5 min walk to the corner store. Take care.
