New Colonial Sites Lead to my First GOLD coin!!!!

[Hunthicks]

Got out with The Patriot today to try some new spots in an area with some age and potential. Lots of pottery and broken glass showing up but for the most part finds were bits and bobs and scrap brass and lead. Then out popped this, an 1800 1/3 Guinea gold coin! I was honestly in shock, I NEVER expected I'd find a gold coin, and a 213 year old one at that. I don't think Patriot could believe it either! It was my only coin for the day, and after we tried three new sites that should have had lots more goodies we tried an old beat site and I came up with some musketballs and a bale seal. All in all, with the great weather, some free sausages and taters from a nice farmer, good company and a gold coin, it was one of my best days detecting yet!

Congrats on the gold, nothin like picking up a gold coin that hasn't been handled in hundreds of years.
Well done on the Banner.

thats a Giunea, an english gold coin, this was found where? TN? your using the F5? what did it ring in as? and may i ask how deep?

 

[Hunthicks]

I'm in Canada. I use the F5, the coin rang in low, around your typical small flat button range - 27 - 30ish on the VDI. Depth was around 9 inches in a field that had previously been plowed.

Also rang in as a small button on my minelab XS coil.... Just too bad I didn't get there first!

Amazing find!

 

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

Awesome !

As stated many of us will never get one.
I never put gold coin on my top ten wish list before, this year I did put it on the list, but past number 10, as it is highly unlikely.

Old, and gold, a good combo.

Congrats.

 

[detectahead]

Great job!

 

[Breezie]

There's only one other color prettier than GOLD, and that's OLD GOLD! CONGRATULATIONS on a fantastic, well deserved BANNER find! Way to go Breezie

Welcome to the club! Certainly a day you'll never forget. My first and only gold coin is also English George...an 1825 George IV full sovereign, which is slightly smaller than a US quarter.
