Me and Charlie (eastcoastHunter21) took advantage of 60 degree weather and decided to head into our hunted out spot (thick bramble). We have been pulling old coins and relics at this location for over a year.
Since this spot was hit hard I decided to run my dues at 17mhz and see if some smaller targets were missed.
My first digable target was an 1883 Indian, right in the middle of a path.
Then the path disappeared and the overgrowth became thick. It took some crawling and few thorns but we made it through to an open area
Few mins later I found a largie shaped button. I think it’s an LC converted to a button. I see a “1” of “1/100” at bottom and an “s” of “states”
Maybe half hour later, Charlie starts calling me over “dude I think I have a Gold coin”!!! I rush over and we carefully wash it in water and a French 1940 2 franc appears (unfortunately not Gold)
On our way back I pull a matron Head cent
Then we start crawling and fighting the bramble once again to get near our parking spot.
Seeing the car I was accepting the days results, but I always try to swing till the last moment. Swinging some more, I get a nickel sounding pop and decide to dig in... I see a gold rim, and start screaming to Charlie “dude, I think it’s gold!” He rushes over and I grab my phone and begin recording:
(Here’s the video)
An 1851 French, Gold, 10 Francs!!!
Never did I expect it, only dreamed about the elusive gold coin!!
Here she is cleaned up;
I’m on cloud #9! I’ve picked up a detector 4 years ago, had some great finds in that time! Met some amazing people through it and am looking to get back out there soon!
Happy Hunting tNet!
Ps. Trying to figure this find out...
