Four Forum Members, Four Gold Coins!

[Steve Herschbach]

Four forum members (that I know of) have all found a gold coin in the last year! That seems kind of amazing to me, and shows that many awesome finds remain to be made out there after decades of metal detecting.

A couple of things that amazed me about my gold coin find was that the park I found it in is one of the toughest in our area. I have left that park many times with only one old coin to show for the hunt. The area I found it is right were my friends and I have covered countless times.

The other thing that amazed me was my research after my find that made me realize that loosing a $5.00 gold coin in 1910 is like loosing somewhere around $125.00 today. I’m guessing not many people back then were carrying around gold coins to lose in the first place. 

I was flat out shocked when I found mine.  Good luck to all in your search for one. It’s a high for sure when you  do find one!

That is pretty nice to see "gold coins" still being recovered.

I had 6 customers find gold coins in 2018 that I know of.

Now that we are getting familiar with our machines, next year 2019 should be even better.  Especially since the 6" coil can hunt he trashy sites and the 15" can get the deep ones in open areas.

It is good to see the stories on your forum too Steve and I do try to get folks on it, but most just enjoy the reading and not posting.

Thanks for allowing us a place to post, read and dream.
