It's a little cooler today and wanted to get a quick lunchtime hunt in so I went to a local soccer field
I always see people posting gold rings found in soccer fields so I figured why not give it a try

I was digging all the low tones in hope I would find some gold. I got an almost overload low tone that just screamed in my ears. Dig the plug and only 2" down see gold.

Pull it out and I know immediately what it is. A 1984 1/2 ounce 24 karat (.999)panda gold coin. I never thought I would find a gold coin.

I am still shaking as I write this. With the bezel it looks like it was on a necklace I looked all around the area and could t find the necklace.

This was a find of a life time!!!!

Congratulations! I have never found a gold coin. I have never found a gold coin I didn't like. I like your gold coin...so pretty!

I imagine finding a gold coin and tossing the detector to the side and walking off the field without it - game over- mic drop style. But then I would run back to grab realizing there could be more! :laughing9::metaldetector:

Relish the feeling. Feels good, eh?:icon_thumright:
