There i was at my favorite local park, heading towards the car, swinging on the way of course and I got a signal, I remember thinking, "Oh another pull tab probably" but it wasn't a pull tab, it shined back at me as if it was minted yesterday. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, is this a full sovereign? I had only seen them a few time in youtube videos, but there it was 1900 Queen Victoria Full Sovereign. I was shaking, I couldn't even drive, I had to wait a few minutes and chill out.

I am beyond thrilled.. I love this little coin. I love this hobby. Got it with the AT Gold my favorite detector.

Here is the entire 6-7 hour hunt. There was even a kids buried cache in a plastic box that was sealed in a ziplock bag. With 24 pennies a zippo and a plastic gem.

I think everyone else said it all. You had a dream hunt today. Better pinch yourself. I also vote BANNER. :occasion14:
 

She beautiful and deserves to be up there on the banner. How about a shot of the other side of the beauty? Congrats on your first gold coin.:occasion14:

I seriously just sat in my car and breathed deep, i was in no condition to drive right then.

I can believe that. I can hold a rare bottle and get knots in my stomach and all tight in the chest. Pulling a gold coin outta the ground would probably just do me in. You got my vote!
 

A coin like that is definitely worth the wait! Great job and perseverance pays off! Great find and great lesson for us all...Brad

Congrats on a sweet dig, I agree with everyone, a banner, I can relate to the having to catch the breath-well with finding gold and silver rings, yeah a gold coin would be the cat's meow lol. What was the VDI?
