This month has been outstanding for me. I have never in my life been this lucky and just want to say thank you to whoever is looking out for me.

I went out today for few hours just to kill time. I wasn’t expecting much so I was just taking my time digging targets. I digging lots of thrash as usual along with pennies. I was using the 800 and since I wasn’t finding much I started just jumping between park 1 and field 1. After a few hours I came across this iffy target that would jump all over the place with negative numbers and hit 20-21 once in a while. I’m like another Penny, I guess I will dig since it’s my last target. I dug it and I see this weird coin staring back at me. I grab it and I’m a little confused now cause it sure doesn’t look like a Penny at all. After a few seconds go by it finally clicks, OMG this a fracken gold coin. Now I’m shaking And trying to figure out what to do next. After a minute or two I figured I should put it on top of the detector to let it breath and take a picture. Well, here it is and I hope
this isn’t a dream. Thank you for looking and remember to dig everything because you just never know. HH

Congratulations on your gold coin find and on achieving your first BANNER on Treasure Net! :occasion14:

Funny, because the first thing I would've done when I got it home was to offer 'Liberty' a warm bubble bath. :laughing7:

Racso, as many before me have stated - "CONGRATULATIONS"!

You've come across one of the Holy Grail's of metal detecting by being persistent and digging all signals AND thank you so much for sharing your wonderful adventure!

This is as close as I've come to what you discovered and yes it is California Gold from of course, Nor Cal Gold country - (no mint mark though)

That’s some beautiful gold you got there. I would love to find some nuggets like that but that kind of detecting is way above my skill level. Good luck out there and may you find yourself a nice buttery ounce nugget. HH

A Sweet $5 Gold , I love 1905 Coins ; Grandfather's Birth Year.

IMO
It looks almost new , get that dirt off ( if you want ) & you may have a MS Coin $600 + Retail with it being an 'S ' mint.

If yr like me , You likely would never sell it .

It seems to have great detail under that dirt.

I poured some water on it and most of the dirt came off, however the face on lady liberty still looks stain. I wish I could clean it good but I don’t want to rub it. Got any ideas on how to accomplish this. Thanks
