Hi Folks, Been a bit since I've posted. My detecting hobby is pretty much finished and I finally got around to look at all the things I've found over the years. I found the two gold coins I found on my first time out detecting. I figured that if I was going to start getting rid of things, I might as well get them graded so I would know what I was dealing with. So I sent them off to NGC for grading and slabbing. You can imagine my surprise when they both came back as uncirculated. I was not prepared for that. What are the chances of finding two gold coins your first time out and they both are in MS 61 and 62 grade. That was a huge surprise for me. Guess it's the blind pig scenario.

Thanks for looking,
Daryl
