Found in 1996
Found By Harry Swickis

Category Gold Coin
Heading San Francisco double eagle
Description "All the gold in California..." isn't there anymore! At least a little of it made it all the way to a British Columbia schoolyard where Harry Swickis and his wife Doreen went metal detecting. Doreen struck gold first, finding a wedding band, but then it was Harry's turn. Not only did the San Francisco double eagle earn him "Find of the Month" honors, but it's the best coin found by any of the 60 members in his club's 12-year history. "This," says Harry, "is what it's all about!"
