I Found a Gold Coin!!!(UPdated Phot's)
I ussally post in the Beach and Shallow water fourm, but I thought you guys would enjoy seeing my latest find. I always wanted to find a gold coin, and I finally did. I was an hour and forty minutes into a 2 hour hunt when I dug the gold coin. Man it made my day. The coin is a 1915 Austria 1 Ducat with "Franc iOS IDG Avstriae Imperator" on the front. It is .986 fine (23 3/4 carats). The site I got my info said this about the coin "among the highest purity gold coins ever issued for circulation". The bezel is stamped .750 (18k).
I also dug a 3 gram platinum ring.
Enjoy!
