🥇 BANNER FOUND 1st GOLD COIN!!! $5 1910

[Diggin Dude]

Went out late afternoon after thunderstorms moved through to my new hunting areas. After finding a few memorials, Jefferson nickel, pulltabs and junk with my DEUS I got kind of a broken quarter reading. Quarter reading? Keep in mind Target ID numbers with the DEUS are not very accurate in salt water areas, at least with my experience. Nevertheless I decided to dig a hole hoping for a silver quarter, when pin pointing I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a gold rimmed and during my excitement I called my friend Don-in-Brewster (TNET member) and told him what I found!


I was so excited I couldn't concentrate on detecting, kept going for an hour longer, managed to find a subway token, I guess, who cares..... I found a FREAKIN GOLD COIN!

I don't know what else to write, I'm so excited and happy to share this excitement. I put the coin back in the hole for a photo to show how deep it was. Enjoy the photos.

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting

Now that, I do believe, is one fine $5 dollar coin! I know you work very hard detecting and that undoubtedly contributed to you scoring that sweetheart. Congrats bud

Thanks very much Scrappy! I do put my time in and try to think out of the box looking for places to detect. Your posts kept me inspired during my slumps.

Congrats on yours !! People were near (30-40 yards) where I was detecting and were looking at me as I was on the phone, I must of looked like I found something of importance, one gentleman came over and asked me if I found anything..,.... I told him clad and bottle caps, didn't want to advertise my find. It was hard to contain my excitement. I didn't lie, I just didn't mention the gold coin.

Thanks for your reply

All of us seasoned detectorists know the exitement of seeing that silver reeded edge in the hole. I can only imagine, but hope to live the feeling of seeing the gold reeded edge!
Thanks for posting that beauty and congratulations on the find/banner.

Congrats and welcome to the gold coin club. Be sure to send in an entry for Western & Eastern Treasures magazine's Find of the Year. All gold coins make the edition as part of the Gold Coin Club. I made it a few years ago with a nice 1905 quarter eagle.

Huzzah! And Congrats. It's even in great shape too!

HOLY GOLDEN INJUN! WTG on the find of a lifetime!

I remember how I felt when I dug my 1663 Cob, couldn't focus for the rest of the hunt and was too distracted.
