Yup.....that's right.....after 21 years of detecting and digging what seems like a bazillion holes I finally popped my first gold coin!!! I won't bore you all with a long story.....I'll keep it simple....

Chuck Norris kicked the mountain's butt and took its gold....then the mountain came back for more and I took its silver too....the end

This is where I was hunting...

1925-D 2 1/2 dollar Indian.....its a little worn and has a few scratches and dings but I don't care

The rest of the coins from this area

Went home and showed my wife and then my buddy called so I met him at an old school yard for a little spin.....didn't really care what I found...but found a few pesky wheats, a Buffalo nickel and a cocaine spoon...old dog tag and ball button are from the earlier woods hunt

Got a tribe if injuns......the HARD way....just the way Chuck Norris likes it :laughing7:

The Native American trifecta are you SERIOUS!?! Well done, a well-deserved banner. I'm also about 20 years in. Does that mean I finally find my gold coin next year too? Nice job Chuck.

That 1925 coin is just a whisper of a piece of metal but your detector and you did a fine job bringing it back to life! Then the old Wheaties & silver are also great coins to be pulling out of that heavily overgrown patch you are working, Fine Job !..........................63bkpkr

Congrat'z on banner. You are now an official studmuffin. Welcome to the gold coin club. Fellow md'rs must call you "sir" now. And you can autograph other md'rs metal detectors now (for a modest fee, of course). :icon_thumright:

Dude, HUUUGGGEEE congrats on your first gold coin! You deserved it, detecting those conditions!

Here's hoping this opens the floodgates and you find a gold coin every single time you go out.

Congrats. You got there a little quicker than me. I believe it took me 25 years to find my one and only gold coin, a 1905 Coronet Head $2.50.
