my first gold coin and its big

[fmerg]

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

I'm on this one too. Any gold coin, especially one you don't see everyday should be shinning on top BANNER find

HOLY COW!

For those who do not believe that good begets good, or that there is no such thing as karma, look again! That is great. Now if you could find it in your heart to buy that poor lady on the coin some clothes. It appears that her top has blown away in the weather or worn off!

Congratulations on a superb find!

well all she needs to do is stop into the food pantry we all so have a thrift store were she can get some free blouses maybe even gold one to match her skin tone

Great find......and taped to a drawer. And you were the one to get her back into circulation.
You work at a food pantry. Before I came to Korea I was a Chaplain at two inner-city missions.....
one in Columbus, Georgia, and the other in Salem, Oregon. We worked closely with several food kitchens.......
they do good work.
congrats on the coin.
