Thanks Detectinfreak & Bootybay,Your remarks are much appreciated!!!Its been almost a year now since I found it and I'm still pumped and still a little in disbelief.Remember,keep that discriminator low and get in the old areas and you'll greatly improve your chances of a gold piece! Best of luck to all for '08, Bootstrap

I had the issue before I found this post, and when I came to the gold coin page your coin caught my eye right quick. Too bad there was no article, might come in a future issue :dontknow:

. Again awesome find and good luck in the future. Potsie

Thanks for the congrats Desertfox! I don't know about another GC but I can almost guarantee my silver count will be significantly higher this year as I've had a lot of time off over the winter that has been filled with researching and getting ready for the thaw.Best of luck to ya, Bootstrap :icon_pirat:

Thanks Allen & Ironman,Its been a little over 2 years since that day but it still feels like yesterday.I haven't written the story as of yet but I'm still planning on it.There seems to be something about detecting on the 19th day of the month,I found my gold piece on the 19th of may 2007 and this year on the 19th of april I found three barber dimes and an 1860 civil war cavalry saber which also made the banner(shameless post plug ::)
