I am still freaking out! I was detecting and found this beauty. I Dug this down the beach. It's weird because the beach is where I found my first gold coin as well. This is in pristene condition. I took a picture of it on black to show its detail. None of my friends know about this yet. I did call my son South Jersey Jim to tell him. We always have a competition when we metal detect and I had to show him that I can still whip his butt! See you top this Jim :headbang: I'm sorry I was so excited I forgot to post a picture.
