My Digging Partner Digs Gold Coin

[B.H.]

I took my brother-in-law Ernie Sharp to one of my digging sites recently..
He dug this 1899 Gold British Sovereign and an 1877 Seated Liberty Quarter.
The coin is a period conversion to a fancy ladies pin.The safety keep is also gold and works very smoothly.
I had kind of given up on this site,but I suppose it deserves some more attention.
Lots of earlier relics and coins were dug there before this coin was found.

Keep Digging..

It is a nice broach but I don't understand why anyone would make a pin out of a gold coin. It had to be someone that had a lot of money to spare.

same here its not a normal way of making a coin/brooch like that as doing it this way is defacing the coin plus it looks like the pin etc has been put on a year or 2 ago

The banner vote was obviously for the finder - provided he creates an account to acknowledge the banner spot.

Great find . I don't understand why people are giving banner votes on this. It was found by someone else not the poster. I didn't know it worked that way. If that's the case I'd like to post a find of a gold cache found by another guy a couple of years back . This is not directed at the poster just the people voting banner. Dream find though.

Actually it's not so obvious since new members cannot make the banner.

I can assure you the pin and clasp are period,isn't it great that it looks so good.
The coin/brooch/pin is EXACTLY as dug.

That is a very cool find!!!

I completely agree with you that this is as dug my fellow t-netter. I personally have seen older gold coins that were made into brooch's just like that. A very cool find.
