my first gold coin and its big

fmerg · May 4, 2011

today on the way home from the local food pantry i volunteer at i came across an old filing cabinet someone tossed down the embankment i walked down to see if it was any good but it was rusted out on the top
as i opened the draw the side kinda fell apart leaving me holding the draw
anyway taped to the bottom was a 1947 gold 50 peso coin.

from there the day got better when i got home it was raining and my son eric (fisher2)
beged me to go back to a spot we just got permission for
so we grabed the saran warp and jumped into the car
hunted for about 2 1/2 hours
here is the finds from one of the best days detecting this year

that's ridiculous!
you did well to get out at all today with the weather.
i got out for some morels this evening after the rain stopped,
but i didn't find any gold coins taped to them.
congrats.

So ... gold is where you find it ... even in an old filing cabinet?

I'm thinking you're just d**m lucky there! Very nice lucky gold, pretty nice silver spoon, and some really nice bells, too. I'm beginning to wonder what you'll find when you start to work at it!

Save some of that good bling for the rest of us, fmerg!
