First gold coin

[procali]

I decided to try my luck in a park where i found my last gold ring, 3 minutes into the hunt my second target and out pops this little beauty. I was using an x-terra 705 with a 6" dd high freq 18.75 coil. Its the 4th time i use it and today it proved to be a killer on the gold. Ill try and post a link to a video later. The pictures are of my last 3-4 hunts since i got the coil.
The silver eagle I bought from a friend a coupple hrs. Ago, 20 bucks.

Back of piece, turns out to be 14 k, 7gr.

Thanks for all the replys, even though its not an authentic U.S. Gold coin, would it still be considered a gold coin, what do you think?

You definitely deserve the good finds after all that digging. Gold is gold regardless of what shape or form but technically I don't think it would classify as a gold coin, at least not in the sense of legal tender. Regardless its a great find and one to be proud of.

Its gold & its 'coin like' but to me its jewelry & not jewelry made from a real coin. Therefore, if I found it, I would not count it as a true coin. Still it has value & is a good dig.

Have you had a chance to test it at all? Or are there markings on the "Coin" part anywhere? I love the style of it

Coin or not, it's a beautiful pendant and an awesome find. If it is gold and not plated, then it is a very valuable find. Any detectorist would be proud of that find.

It does not appear to be a genuine gold coin, its a pendant or gold round or something, maybe trying to represent a coin. I'm sure its still gold, good recovery !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

A jeweller friend of mine verified 14k with acid test, inside the clasp is a 14k mark and for the coin he gave it a little inside scrape and tested good for solid gold. Thanks for all the coments, and happy hunting.
