"I FOUND A G-O-L-D COIN" UPDATE 5-26

:dontknow:

Hey guys, I just got back from the "dealer" where I had the coin. I'm embarased to say I didn't find a solid gold coin, its onlly 14k reproduction. I thought and was told initially it was the real thing. It's still cool to me, big and heavy and it is 14k anyway. It looked correct but tested at 14k.
I'm appologizing for bragging to soon and ask that it is taken off the banner. I meant no harm, just excited. Hope you guys understand.

[cool] [cool] What a morning! I started out early this morning to hit a few schools before the kids and grandkids come over for hamburgers. The first schoolyard is a regular one of mine but I haven't been there for a few wekks. An hour later I had snagged 65 coins and a little trash. I put it on the tailgate for a pic. The weather is humid, about mid 70's and a little overcast. So I did'nt even break a sweat. Off to school #2 not expecting much there, usually onlu a few bits of clad there.
Started at the play area, couple of coins, then I went to the swings....First Signal as you can see in the pic was 12-Foil/Ring!!!!! I moved the chips awaw with my foot and saw GOLD. I said to myself, "Just junk, probably play coin....NO SIR....It is a Genuine 50 Peso with "Oro-Puro" written on it...I don't think I could do any better than this today. I had to call my huntin' buddy Lance and brag to him then off to the house to gloat to my wife!!!!! I'm Stoked!!!
Thanks for lookin' and keep diggin'.......

No apologies needed, Rudy. I (we) understand. Bragging?? No offense taken whatsoever. Good job and it could happen to many of us I'm sure :notworthy:

Rudy,
Sorry to hear the news, but I would have soiled myself if I found that coin too.

Heck, I get excited finding a golden ChuckE Cheese token.
I think I need help. :icon_scratch:

A great find anyways,
MM

At least you know your heart can take finding a gold coin....(even though this one turned out to be a 14K reproduction)

NOW ..get out there and find it. :icon_thumright:

Sorry about your repro Rudy! I know you are disappointed big time! Dang, that's too bad and you even made the banner! That was the first thing I noticed this evening, that it wasn't there anymore....... Well, better luck next time. :'(

That is totally a real bummer. Oh well it was at least exciting for awhile there.

hey no harm done amigo --you honestly thought you had the real deal --as many of us would have -- and you were straight up when the results came in that it wasn't -- you are a honorible person --and heck ya -- who wouldn't be happy about a finding a gold coin and of course we would post about it -- I know I sure would --- sorry that its a 14 k plated copy -- at least your heart got a free "stress test" outta the deal . -- keep on looking --you never know what you might find . :wink:

That's really too bad, but you did the forum good by acknowledging the truth. Some in the same situation just lead people on forever or keep them hanging.

Next time! :thumbsup:
