GB_Amateur Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Fantastic find! Definitely go back to that site. As you note, once the construction crews take over the history will be lost forever. ? I think it's less likely to find gold coins in the Eastern USA than the Western. Same for silver dollars. The Easterners were more accepting of paper money; Westerners didn't trust that. Seems like from the depth and location that it likely was a drop. I suspect there are more intentionally hidden gold coins than drops. Bottom line, though, is that you saved this one. Well deserved! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Stunning find, congratulations! I have always loved the unique design of that coin. You will never forget that moment, I am sure. It’s the moment detectorists live for. Again, congratulations on a fantastic find! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 The more I hold it the more magical it seems, No wonder why gold has fascinated us humans for thousands of years. It truly is a strange feeling when finding something like that, It kinda takes you back to your childhood dreams of finding pirate treasure. Your heart starts pounding and hands shaking like you kissed your first girl. It really is a fantastic whirlwind of emotion. To answer your question Rick I was using my multi kruzer in 19 khz with a 9 inch concentric. Shout out to Kac thanks for the lucky detector charm, I think it worked Ha Ha 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
