Yup.....that's right.....after 21 years of detecting and digging what seems like a bazillion holes I finally popped my first gold coin!!! I won't bore you all with a long story.....I'll keep it simple....

Chuck Norris kicked the mountain's butt and took its gold....then the mountain came back for more and I took its silver too....the end

This is where I was hunting...

The rest of the coins from this area

Went home and showed my wife and then my buddy called so I met him at an old school yard for a little spin.....didn't really care what I found...but found a few pesky wheats, a Buffalo nickel and a cocaine spoon...old dog tag and ball button are from the earlier woods hunt

Got a tribe if injuns......the HARD way....just the way Chuck Norris likes it :laughing7:

Oh Wow! Oh Wow! Oh Wow! More details please. Was it deep, under a root, on the surface, did it ring up like a shotgun end, is this deep in the woods, history of location, been there a lot or just ran across it during a hike. We live vicariously through a find like this. Totally awesome. Congrats!!

I've been to same mountain, but have bowed my head in defeat for many moons. No gold for this warrior.

Congrats on that nice golden treat!
