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...

1925-D 2 1/2 dollar Indian.....its a little worn and has a few scratches and dings but I don't care

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:

She's a beauty!! I'm sure it took a couple karate chops and a few roundhouse kicks but the mountain gave up the goods! Question-did you actually find it or did it simply surrender!? Lol...great find my friend, banner vote is in! Ddf

Well done Chuck Norris. You got the gold back from the bad guys! And I am impressed with all those chiefs you captured too.
