A little bit of snow on the ground didn't keep me from finding the Number 1 item on my bucket list, a gold coin! I never thought I would find one! It was a great day metal detecting! Besides the 1853 $1 Gold Coin I also found a 1905 Indian Head Penny, 1956 Wheatie, 1 flat button, Bronze Bicenntenial Commerative Coin

Excellent find you have there! I would be dancing also if I would have found that. I have the F75 as well. Did it show up as a mid tone in the 40's on the machine? I've found a couple if gold rings that showed up in the 40's. That would be my ultimate find as well.

No it was in the 50's and jumpy but the sound was a deeper tone. I did find 1 heavy gold ring and it was a solid 41.

Wow, that was a great video! You made my day just by me watching it. Congrats on your great find. You were right about the hole in your gold coin, it does give it character. Besides, I could never imagine trying to sell such a great find. The hole might actually be part of the reason it was lost (the string holding the coin may have broken).

Great stuff! Would look great on the finds banner for sure. Three years isn't long to find your first gold. 21 years for me this April, and I am still searching for one.

Well done.

Congrats,and the little ones are the toughest of all to find!!!

I struggled whether or not to even mention this but,it may save you or somebody else heart break down the road........you never want to touch the surface of a gold coin at all.....you swiped it several times and I bet if you look you will see where you scratched it.Whether or not you ever want to sell it....your grandkids might,and a scratch brings the value down
