1789 King George III Gold Coin

[lovedigging]

Got out for the first time this evening since the DIV in March. I had surgery on my hand and elbow a couple weeks ago and have been unable to dig. I couldn't stand it any longer, so my good friend Bill (Hutch 911) and I, went to a 200-year-old homesite that I'd gotten permission for us to hunt. There were many signals but after digging a few holes, I thought I was going to die from the pain in my arm! I'm sure glad Bill was along, because my next signal, he could tell I wasn't doing well and he asked if I wanted him to dig for me. I graciously accepted! A few moments of digging and we both spied it at the same time....then we were trying to see who could grab it first! LOL After reading the date on it, we were high-fiving my discovery! Needless to say, after I recover a little more (and it's not raining) we will go back and hit that sight again. Thanks again Bill for your help!!!

What sweet condition of the coin is so nice, congrat's on your find.
Did your arm quit hurting for a bit?

thats a real nice coin...a goldie is a prize we all desire.....will it be worth more than the book value as a 'relic' of colonial America ??

Bear in mind Book value is very rarely achieved. However, being found in the US, & with their interest in this period (greater than ours) then it could match book price & maybe tip over.

He wrote that poem before there was a T-net. He'd see enough wondrous things here, all right.

Spectacular! Continued recovery after your surgery. You're gonna want to go back there..
