🥇 BANNER Took me 28 years of detecting, I finally did it.. Gold Coin !

[here4themoney]

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.



More pics..


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.

Congrats and welcome to the gold coin club. Finding a gold coin is one of those things that you just can't believe while it's happening. Found my first a little over a month ago after 35 years of looking. It was a 1871 British half sovereign.

You are so right, I thought it was exciting to get a peace dollar, this was an all new level of excitement. I actually just got back from that spot, I invited some guys from my local club out there and they were amazed, they got some great stuff, 1925 peace Dollar, Silver Washington, Rosie, silver wedding band, old foreign coins, some wheaties, they couldn't believe how good the spot is and were very thankful I shared it with them.. i got 2 wheaties 1919 and 1917, they were also able to see my gold coin in person and really enjoyed it.. Had a great time

Still wondering why this hasnt made Banner yet...I've seen some S#@% make banner in a day....Politics


Killer Find!! Im still waiting to see that come out of hole

 

[Garrett424]

Wow!! 28 years??
You EARNED that one my friend. It's absolutely gorgeous.

And you're right. You gotta' dig those "pulltab" signals to reveal that sweet, beautiful GOLD!!! Good thing you didn't pass that one by eh??

Congratufreakin'lations on that one. Well done, good show, awesome and fantastic.

It's posts like this that really inspire me to get out there and to NEVER give up.

And you're right, this IS an amazing hobby that just keeps paying us back in so many ways.
What a hunt.

I found an 1802 LC with the " keep the detector on close to the ground on the way back to the car " and I thought that was lucky

 

[Mr.T]

Voted!

 

[Fletch88]

Does everyone know HOW to vote banner for a find? It takes more than posters saying I think it's a banner find. I'm still baffled this isn't there yet.

 

[coinman123]

I know a banner when I see one, right now, I see one! How isn't this on top yet!

 

[mikeraydj]

Banner vote is in. Congrats!

 

[FreeBirdTim]

I'm usually too lazy to vote for finds, but this one has to be a banner find! BANNER!
