My first Gold Coin With My Explorer SE ($2.50)

[Silverfox]

Hi All, my wife and I went to a small town just north of Las Vegas on Sunday to do some detecting with my Explorer SE and ended up doing really good.

I found:
4 Indian head pennies
1 seated dime
1 Mercury dime
3 Barber dimes
37 Wheaties
1 Buffalo Nickel
1 Liberty V-Nickel
3 old Canadian coins (2 were silver)
1- 18K heavy mens ring with a diamond
2 Silver Rings

and finally a 1911 $2.50 Indian Gold Piece!!!
It was under a large tree root and was a pain digging it out. I just about gave up on it but I had a feeling it was something good the way it was reading on my Explorer.
The sad part about it is that I scratched the face up pretty good. I always take my time digging my targets but I was in the 110 degree heat / sun and it was, like I said, a big pain to digging under the root.
I also found $9.62 in clad.

Happy hunting!

Congrats on gold...found my gold with the XLT and so far haven't found one with the Explorer. But don't think I'm not looking!!

Impressive finds! Looks like you found one hell of a spot. I'd go back over it!

Wow what a great mess of finds. Topping it off with a gold coin. What a great site. Can I ask, public or private property? The reason I ask is because I still believe there are still these sorts of finds on public land, although more plentiful, perhaps, on privare land. Courious I guess.

GREAT GOLD! So where were you, private or public land?

 

[Gribnitz]

Dang a scratch! Since you scratched it, I think you should donate it to someone least likely to ever find a gold coin.....me

It was an empty lot with a group of trees on it. It may have even been a ball park, but it's hard to tell today. I've driven by it many times and always thought it would be a good place to hunt, and of course it was. Thanks, Abe

It was a public spot. Probably an old ball park. Abe

That's an incredible day! Too bad about the gold piece; will you go back to that site?

I'm getting a Disc replaced in my back next month, so I will go back later this year hopefully. Thanks, Abe

Stupendous! Great gold coin! Awesome silver coins. I'd go back and search real slow.

 

[finderzzs]

Need someone to go back with you? You know hold the shovel, dig the coins... Wow and super congrats on a pile of terrific finds.. That gold had to make you sick when ya saw what happened to it. I wonder if these can be professionally repaired..

Better scratched and in your hand then left under a root!

Great job!!!! I'm inspired!
