first gold coin

[swish]

Hi all
I went down my block today looking between the the road and the sidewalk. Old photo's show a dirt street with horses tied to hitching posts.I hoped someone back then had dropped a silver coin, I didn't find any silver but i did get this sweet 1915 $5 gold coin. I got a penny reading on the m6 and dug a 1898 indian. when i rescaned the hole i got a reading in the bottle cap territory, what the heck i was already there so i dug it, and out popped the gold. i think everyone on the block has seen it now and they told me i could hunt there yards as well. so all in all a perfect day. also got 9q-7d-13 pennies and 2 wheats. it took about 30 years but now i have mine.


Thanks all for the banner vote. never thought i'd be there

That is excellent!! I almost bought a 2 1/2 gold coin just like this today. SWEEEEET SCORE!! Nice research work there too. I bet that was one hell of a rush to see a gold coin!!
That was a ALOT of money to lose for someone back then.
Anyway, really really great find! That should be in the banner. AWESOME!!
