🥇 BANNER My Greastest Find EVER!!!

[ArDirtSlinger]

Found this little coin right before sun down tonight. Found a 1903 IH toasted pretty bad around 2:30 today.
Left the park around 3 and picked up my daughter from school. After dinner I got to thinking about that IH and where I found it and decided to go back and just take another look see.....
Well low and behold 2 feet from that hole I get a repeatable tone and TDI.

And the reward is this little beauty.
Probably never top this but I'll sure will be out there trying................

Welcome to the gold coin club. I joined in March of 2012 with a similar 1905 $2.50 quarter eagle. What a great feeling to dig the elusive gold coin. Congratulations !

That's a fantastic find, had me puzzled for a second there.. were you using the deus? what did it come in at? super dig,

dan

Yes the Deus. Got it on the 16th of last month. Was using 18freq, And it rang up at 72 repeating ; would jump to 73 then right back to 72 and repeat. Thats the reason I dug it. Beaver tails and pop tops have been coming in at 74 - 79 so was pretty sure it was not one of those. I'm so glad I listened to my inner voice and went back.

Congrats on the beautiful looking gold coin. The vote is in also for your find, and just wondering what were the first words said when you saw it in the dirt?

I dont think I can post that kinda laugauge here. lol Shaking so bad couldnt hardly light a cigarette...LOL

 

[ArDirtSlinger]

Seems to be a lot of interest in me cleaning it up. Is there a method that wont hurt it??
