Very nice!

I wish you more luck in the future and start finding the ones that look newer.

Of course all of them are great.

Super awesome; congrats to you both! 

A few years ago I was hunting an old school ground when the target ID on my Minelad X-terra 705 read the exact number for a $5 gold piece. The school was built in the 1950’s or 60’s era, so I knew it couldn't be a gold coin, but a non-ferrous item that just so happened to ID the same. At a depth of 6 to 8 inches I saw the glint of gold at the bottom of the hole...could it be after all? It did indeed turn out to be gold: a 14k Black Hills gold locket sold at Kohl's Department Store!

Yes and both of you were just 50 feet from me when you found them.  I'm jealous and my bucket list includes a coin just like yours and Steve's.  Thanks for posting.

Gary,  I did not know you were with Steve when he found his.  How funny is that?  You were with me when I dug mine almost 20 yrs ago and then you were there at the same location last week with Steve and watched him dig his 1st gold coin.  Wow, I think I'll start hanging around you more often.  We have had some great hunts, stories and memories together.  Thanks for being a friend.
