Found a gold coin! And it was on my property!

Just recently moved to my new house a couple months ago, it was built in 1910, detected my front yard right after I moved and didn't find much, finally decided to check my small backyard and BAM! It's 1874 c. 10 mark, I guess it's German, my first gold anything and on my own property. Wander if who lost it moved from there.

Nice coin. Looks like it fell out of a jewelry mount.

Very possible. My mother has a family hairloom with a 10 Reichsmark coin too. Big congrats, great coin!
