🥇 BANNER 1851 Quarter Eagle GOLD

[BrianNY]

Long Island, NY

Only had a brief amount of time to get out this morning but sure glad I did. Went back to what has been a very productive wooded area where a house once stood. Have pulled numerous buttons, copper and silver coins dating from late 1700's thru mid 1800's. Today I stepped it up to gold. Minelab Equinox 600 gave me a solid 16 reading from several directions but also a bit of iron tone nearby the target. Dug it anyway as it was very repeatable. Low and behold I see the glimmer of gold coming from the rim of a coin. I gently pulled the coin out and sprayed with some water that I always keep on me. The water rinses the sand away to reveal a beautiflly preserved 1851 No mint mark 2 1/2 dollar gold coin. What a day!!!

Thanks everyone, sure feel lucky to have found a gold coin in such good shape. Will update it's grade once I send it in. Was shocked myself at how good of condition it was. Quite sure it did not see much used at the point it must have been lost.
