🥇 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!!

Wow huge congratulations to you, I'm happy to say that I have lived your feeling more than once but that was before I joined the forum so couldn't live your bragging rights.

I figured this thing would be on top by now, so I've been slack, but my vote is in now as well. What a great, great find. Still looking for mine!

If they had a $10 gold piece to lose they might have had plenty of them...
