I'm still shaking :hello2:!!!! Went out this morning with Ryan , EAGLEFORCE , and his buddy Tino and hunting a school that gave up big gold years ago . This school also gives up a silver once in a while too . As for the silver finds today I found a 1943 S Washington and a 1944 Canadian silver dime . They were both about 7-8 inches deep . Also found a 1946S wheat at 9 inches ! Now for the BIG one ! I was out in the middle of the soccer field when I got a +72 at 5 inches . I was thinking a penny or a game token but it was not ! I pulled back the plug and saw GOLD ! I took a picture and yelled over to the guys that I had gold and it had to be high karat ! I flick over the item and there it was my first ever GOLD COIN !!!! :headbang::headbang::headbang::hello2::hello2::hello2:. It is a 10th oz gold Panda coin in a 14k gold bezel ! I can't believe it ! I have thought about this day happening forever :thumbsup: . Now I can hag up the MXT , NOT :laughing7: . What a great hunt that I will never forget :thumbsup: .

Congrats Glen. Almost doesn't seem right that that it is in a bezel, instead of a ring!


Very well done sir.

These are collectable Bullion 'coins', more bullion (hence the .999, which coins don't have) than a true coin, if that makes sense. Its a halfway house to a coin. So you can cross it off either list.

I agree it looks better out of the bezel. It took me about 20 years to get my first, so who knows it might open the flood gates - CONGRATS.

Thank you everyone for the kind words ! I never thought I would find a gold coin due to the locations I hunt , parks and schools . Never thought much about finding one mounted for jewelry :thumbsup: . Next I need to find a U.S. gold coin mounted in a gold ring :hello2: . Thanks again !
