🥇 BANNER GOLD!

[MSpeiser]

Man oh man, what a day. Had my former supervisor over for some digging. Got a civil war button and token at site 1. Site 2 gave up a whole lotta stuff. Wheat cents, fatty indian, spoons, utensil handles, buttons, and low and behold, a 1880 near uncirculated $5 gold piece!!!
He told me to calm down and not have a heart attack on him.

Wow!! That's not your first either, is it? Maybe I'm thinking of 1877 IHPs.

2 years ago I dug a 1853 2-1/2 dollar. In 36 years I've got just those 2. Yes, I have also dug 2 1877 indians.

You sir, are one lucky son of gun! I’ve been hunting since 1977 and don’t have the first gold coin or even one 77 IH. Keep at it!

Congratulations on your gold coin and on achieving your first BANNER on Tnet!

Based on your finds, it looks like you were detecting an old homestead site.
Just goes to show, you never what can pop up on these older sites.

One thing I am curious about... what did number did the coin hit at on your Deus?
I mainly use the 'Deus Fast' setting, so it may hit slightly different on my unit.
