So still in shock here guys, was out detecting an old road looking for a colonial spot we though was close and got a solid 24 on my Equinox 800. Dug down about 5" and saw this laying in the hole. Can't remember much after that but my buddy said I was jumping up and down and yelling "Holy S---" over and over - when I finally calmed down I just said "gold" and opened my hand to show him .... his mouth just dropped

It is HUGE and she is a beaut!!

Banner vote casted for big and beautiful gold coin. That's the type of find that makes that has you waking up the next morning, thinking of what you find, and smiling, all of which happens in a nanosecond. A particularly amazing find for recovering on the East Coast.

Thanks STC - and yep you're right, I took it out like 10 times today to look at it - still amazed it was there and I was lucky enough to pass over it :)

Good morning fella! I'm glad you're still here and I hope you are doing great:icon_thumleft:

Hey Vince... I've never left, pretty much only view a few forums though, mainly General, metal detecting, and some of the brands forums. On occasion I go political or in todays finds. I was spending way too much time here and not living a life, so I had to find a balance. I see you are still digging the ancient coins and relics. Glad you reached out my friend.
