Well finally got around to post my best and find of a lifetime that happen on 10/31/2009 at 2:15pm a date and time that will be with me forever, a 1850 $20 Gold US coin. She is a little beat up but Ill take her. It was only my 3rd day out with my new Minelab Etrac. My only other find of the day was one 69 cal. roundball.

That's a story to get the heart racing!!! Congrats on the stunning coin! This coin reminds me of a line from an old song i like to play around the campfires called "St. James Infirmary" the line goes: "so when i die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat,put a 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain,so the gang'll know I'm standing pat"

What's a $20 worth?

An 1850 is worth around $1200-$1500 in that condition give or take (depending on the current price of gold).

Finding a coin like that is priceless
