My First Gold Coin- 1866s Quarter Eagle- XP Deus 2 Strikes First Gold!

[Calmark]

By the way, this $2.50 quarter eagle reads as "15" ID# on my Equinox 800.  The coin is 18mm in diameter and is roughly the size of a US dime.  Very easy to miss, so hunt carefully!

Congratulations.  They say the first is the hardest, so I hope you find many more.  Great find.

freaking awesome! That is one beautiful coin. It's going to be hard to go back out and dig a pulltab at 71. Congratulations on a great hunt.

Great hunting and thanks for the info for the Nox.

I also have some good news for you as I happen to have a vending machine that accepts that type of coin. Send me the coin and I will send you what I can from the machine. I will let you know what is in the machine when I get the coin.

Good luck on your next outing.
