Gold Metal Find! First Gold!

[treasure_lady]

I found this 14kt gold metal in the park today. My first gold! It's a little bigger than a quarter. It came out of the ground this shiny! It was about 3 inches down. Also found a clad dime, nickle and 7 pennies. I found the gold metal on my second swing!

I commented to you find at BH, but I will do it again here! GREAT FIND! Do you have a gram scale? I was wondering about the wt.?

Thanks Onion.. and no I don't have a gram scale. It's slightly larger than a quarter but not as thick...so don't know about the weight.
And thanks to everyone that has taken time to reply! You guys/gals are the greatest!

That's really beautiful! What a superb find! 3" deep,....hmmmmmmm. Makes ya think how many fellow detectorists have missed it? Was it the first time you've hunted that site?

Really nice finds hikermike! Gold and diamonds..that's the right combination! And Rod.. yes it was the first time I had detected that park. As much buried trash that I'm finding...don't think this park has been detected in a while. Lots of areas still to explore!

Congratulations on your first gold. That is a awesome find almost as good as a gold coin.
Keep at it and keep posting those pictures. Could not have happened to a nicer person.
