Ok, it's not old,but I got my first gold.

[Aureus]

With the ''dead season'' of July to September I decided to go on a practice in the local park. I have to admit it's really not my usual hunting grounds as it was only my 3rd hunt in a public place. Went there with the intention of finding my very first gold object so dug every pull tab in the area. After 2,5 hours was ready to go home but got a high 75 signal on my Deus. Thought it was an other Toonie (Canadian 2 dollars coin) so decided to dig the last target. Was really surprised when this shiny beauty came out of the ground. It was still attached to a gold colored chain(that turned out to be plated and might explain the high signal).

The awesome part is my first gold turned out to be a 24 karat one. It seems to have an image of Buddha on the lotus. Really happy with this find. It's not big or old or a Spanish Dobloon but it's my very first gold item. Just wanted to share the moment with you.

P.S. I'm done with the parks. Don't know how some of you guys do it but I'm destroyed after only 2,5 hours (I'm used to 8 hours field or woods hunts). My knees and shoulder hurt like crazy from constant use of the digger. I really missed my shovel, that's for sure.

Thanks for the comments.

Thank you. Really happy it's made of pure gold. Never actually seen the 24k jewelry before.

I still have my first gold. It is a 14kt woman's wedding band. I recovered it at Long Beach, N.Y. in the 80's.
I have made it a habit to hang onto my "FIRSTS"
Congratulations

That's how it's done! Nice reward for your efforts.

Still looking for my first 24k anything, lol.

It actually will get easier and faster if you don't give up. That said, I take breaks from parks and hunt fields when it gets discouraging, dig some iron for awhile as a reset of sorts.

That's a pretty one!

 

[Jenni_Lee]

beautiful. I'd love to find anything at the park besides pulltabs. LOL

Thank you. Still can't believe my first gold is a pure one. Was always hoping it would be a gold coin so I guess it's as close as it gets.
