I found a melted gold coin a long time ago hunting where an old dentist office once stoop. They said they used them for fillings.

I've heard of this before. Amazing that a filling costs more than an old gold coin. Come to think of it, they mostly still do.

What did it ring on your detector? That is so amazing!!!!! Congrats!

The outside pic was much better, I could see the letters good. If the piece was cleaned and held so it wasn't upside down I might of been able to ID exactly which ten dollar coin it was. That is a shame you sold it, were you that destitute that you needed the little bit of money you got for it? How much could you have really got for that? Sorry, I guess everybody's situations are different, I just know if I had been as lucky as that, I doubt very much I ever would have sold that.
Great find, I'd be sifting at that site, good luck in the future and keep hitting that place hard.

Wow! Treb!!?!? If I were you I read your words again. That could be interpreted as very harsh and a bit high falootin!

Just simply fascinating!

WTG!

I was assuming they know each other and it was all in good fun. If not then I agree, a little strong.

But back to our regularly scheduled program - congrats on a super find. Not to many of us will ever be so lucky, melted or not!

Yeah I don't think making assumptions about a persons financial status is a road that should be gone down. Some people would much rather have a new rifle than a melted lump of gold. The OP could be a millionaire for all we know. That's the ops prerogative. It's a fantastic find and I'm glad you shared it with us. It's nobody's business but his what he does with it and certainly not our place to make any judgements

....

That's what I was hoping. One thing is sure, Treb wouldn't mean anything bad about it. Heck! He might've been the one to buy it! LOL

 

[Stormchaser JD]

I don't know anyone on here but wasn't offended either so. No biggie.
I do regret the sale and that's un fixable. But also love the rifle ?
Merry Christmas !

What a great find! I would've traded my gold filling for it, rats.

I'da gave you $15 US for it
