Diggin duo here,
We went out To a favorite park and my daughter called me over shaking. She said she think she found a gold coin!! Well, it is a gold coin however it was made into a pendant as you can see from the break off point. Still, An amazing find, so proud of her and it figures she would find a gold coin before me.

Thats awesome Banner find what kind of coin do you have anymore info on it. Think of all the cool stuff she will have when shes older. I wish I started when I was young. My Daughters and the better 7/8s just wait at home and when I find gold or silver jewelry they take them. I hide them now LOL Congratulations to her shes found one before 99 percent of us that have been at it for many many years. Guess what shes gonna want for her birthday a Detector LOL Great post and stay safe out there

Awesome find!!!! I think it's a 100 Kurus from the Ottoman Empire... possibly late 1800s early 1900s, to me Arabic is just a bunch of scribbles so I can't give you an exact date or any other details.

That was a beautiful find and save. Congrat's to both your daughter and her Dad for taking her hunting. A2coins is right, you'd best start detecting shopping. Continued Success to the two of you.

Doesn't look like gold to me. Better get it tested.

The break point is awfully suspicious but no metal other than gold would be that clean right out of the dirt. Could be plated though.

I think it is, but not high grade - maybe?
