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

I guess give my congrats too... That's so cool... Everyone else had pretty much said everything I was thinking! I'd think about wearing that!

Excellent find and the signal you don't dig might just be a gold coin. Congratulations on a wonderful find. Sure hope I can start getting back out detecting soon, because between your gold coin and Breezie's slave bracelet, I'm drooling all over my shirt. Got my heart rate up reading these posts and I'd probably fall out if I found something like this, but what a smile I would have on face.

That thing right out of the hole is as clean and shiny as the day it was minted. Congrats on an epic find.

Agreed man! And buried in all that abrasive, but it looks so GOOD! Must've been lost NEW, and still can't believe how good it looks!
