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!

An absolutely Super BANNER find! :icon_thumleft::occasion14::icon_thumright:
 

Awww.... You didn't find that! All the competitor companies swear an E-Trac won't find gold - NOT!!!

Thank you for defending the MineLab reputation :)

Thanks Deepseeker, I do find gold with the etrac occasionally but the Excalibur II is my weapon of choice that snagged up 7 oz of gold this year :))
 

Good job and also 1month ago my buddy joe found an 1852 $1.00 gold coin and he was so psyched about it. You can check his channel out on YouTube and you'll find his video of the gold and please subscribe to him because he would love it! His name is surfman1968. Thanks, BK

Thanks TBK
 

doesnt look like you finger rubbed,or tried to clean it either!!!Huge kudo's to you!!!!Awesome find man!!

Thanks Kuger, I was super careful. Luckily my buddy had a bottle of water with him so I was able to rinse it off right away.
 

I would like to thank everyone for the votes, I really appreciate it! Good luck & HH to everyone :)
 

Great find! Good on you for digging the low tones, especially with a hangover!!
 

A pounded park? Was it pounded by toddlers with bubble producing metal detectors??? Awesome find! :icon_thumright:
