First Dug Gold Coin

[rick67]

Went to a swampy home site a found a month ago. 30mph winds 31°.
It's in a hollow protected from the wind so I figured I'd give it a shot.
The first 1/2" was frozen, beneath was the same sticky tarlike mud I was hoping was starting dry but "Nada".
Had two hours and found a few things. I thought I had three Indian Heads and a Big Copper until I cleaned the mud off.


Any thoughts? 17.96 mm, 59-60 vdi on AT Pro, 1.31 gram.

Any thoughts on the Big Copper? 28.45mm

Diameter of the copper is consistent with a Classic or Matron Head large, but its too fried to tell. Congrats!

Where's the gold coin?

 

[testing123]

maybe it's a KG1? Or maybe some Canadian bank token.

I don't see any gold coins, just a severely corroded Indian head penny

I think the nose is too big, it's a big one.

The copper is a later date King George the III

Where is the gold? Is this a sick way of getting folks to look at you corroded coin?

 

[relic lover]

Maybe he meant old coin

 

[payload77]

Oh yeah, not classic or matron, I see the head now. Kg3 maybe?

 

[against the wind]

59 - 60 on the AT PRO could be gold. It can also be nickel or Copper / Nickel as can be found in 1860 - 1864 IHP'S.

But the pictures show it is no way gold. And for its size if it was Shiney non corroded gold would ring in lower

 

[testing123]

I see it possibly being a kg3 now that its been mentioned

 

[trapperart]
