🥇 BANNER Ten Dollar Gold Piece - I'm still in shock!!

[vpone]

So still in shock here guys, was out detecting an old road looking for a colonial spot we though was close and got a solid 24 on my Equinox 800. Dug down about 5" and saw this laying in the hole. Can't remember much after that but my buddy said I was jumping up and down and yelling "Holy S---" over and over - when I finally calmed down I just said "gold" and opened my hand to show him .... his mouth just dropped

It is HUGE and she is a beaut!!

Stunning...beautiful coin. That is a find of a thousand lifetimes. Congratulations.




BTW...I happened to order a 'Nox 800 a couple of days ago, and before I had even laid eyes on your banner find. I must have been way too busy to not have noticed your post prior to now.

Thanks - we looked one more time but hunting season is stopping us from doing anything for a little while, private land but they are hunting it now.

I just wanted to add that the picture with the close size comparison to a half-dollar is very impressive. It's easy to overlook just how huge a full eagle $10 gold coin is in scale.

I know I couldn't believe how big the coin is and it is HEAVY

What did it ring up on the Nox?

Have you imagined the million scenarios on how this was lost? What would a 10 dollar gold piece equate to modern day currency value from 1880?

yeah this was a pretty remote spot and it looks uncirculated so not sure unless it was part of a stash that we haven’t found yet !!!

Congratulations in the highest degree! A dream coin for most all of us! As I am from PA, and travel back often (with a detector, of course), it keeps the dream alive!

OUTSTANDING!!
