Today was the first nice day we have had in a while, so I headed back to the property I recently got permission to hunt. Last time, I hunted the woods, but today I ventured closer to the house.

Aside from the normal trash and bits & pieces, here are my finds for the day!

1970 Quarter............. 1969 Penny........ 1983 Nickel......... AND THE KILLER FIND OF THE DAY: a 1980 1 OUNCE of FINE GOLD Krugerrand from South Africa
1971 Quarter .............1975 penny........ VA 280 Seal ........ I had never heard of this coin before, so I took it to my jeweler friend who verified it is in fact gold.
1979 Quarter............. 1976 Penny ...................................My heart is still pounding!
1981 Quarter............. 1980 Penny
................................1983 Penny

Holy $hit! Congrats! :icon_thumleft: Banner for sure!

Thank you and thank you for your banner vote. It doesn't look like this coin meets whatever the criteria is for making the banner, but it sure was a fun one to find! Be hard to top an ounce of pure gold!

That is one bad boy find! One that most of us will never top. Banner or not, it is a killer find. Btw, I suspect it will show up on the top soon. JMO.

Thank you very much, Kace. The prospect of making the banner this go around is fading with each tick of the clock, but I appreciate your vote. I am not sure what I will find to top it, but who knows what that next beep will yield!

I hear what you a saying, but whether or not that Krugerand makes it to the Banner or not....You see how many members love it, voted banner and are happy for you! That's what matters. It's a Great and Extremely Unusual Find.

It also would be unusual to only have One of those...I'd go back and look for more if you can.

One of the criteria for making the banner is, "We prefer "Rare to the Banner Finds" not necessarily "Rare according to the Books" If you see one like yours up there now, it is not rare to the banner" Since i don't see another one on the banner, I am surprised that yours didn't make it.

I am guessing, that what makes the banner and what doesn't, is totally subjective and at the discretion of the moderators and/or administrators, regardless of the popular vote.

Makes you wonder how people can be so careless? But I'm not one to complain! Wow, what a find!!

Somebody in this thread suggested kids might have been to blame. Sounds like a logical possibility.
