Boom! Finally A Gold Coin!!!! :)

[Seener53]

So today I met up with my buddy at an old pounded park. I was kind of late with a hangover When I got there my buddy had 3 silvers already so I started swinging and my first
target was a 1943 merc. Dug 3 more targets (low tones) which were junk and came across a bouncy 11-27. After a couple of seconds it locked on to 12-30 with the cursor in the middle of the screen. So that got me curious as I dug some gold before on the same cursor position. Dug a 6 inch plug and bam at the bottom of the plug was Gold! Called my buddy over as I was jumping up & down he confirmed my find and got some water to wash off the dirt. After a rinse a beautiful 1906 D 5$ gold emerged. Also found a 1904 V nickel and 5 wheaties, my buddy found 2 war nickels, 2 mercs, barber dime and over 20 wheaties. What a day, I'm so happy

Thanks for looking & HH!

Way to go man! now there's something you can't find coin roll hunting

Possible it's the size of a nickel

So is metal detecting a gold coin the only real cure for a hangover?

I think your onto something here, it worked in my case lol

Thanks, it was. I was afraid of getting robed the rest of the day as the park was in the "hood" lol.

Wow! Great find!

Just curious - how did you clean the gold coin Or did you just rinse in water? I've never found gold, but it would be helpful to know. Awesome find! What kind of detector did you use?

Thank you, just rinsed it with bottled water at the spot and when I got home I dabbed the low spots with a wet cotton ball.
