TRINITYAU Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hello all, I had been out detecting with a friend and the place turned out to be a bust so I called my wife and had her come pick me up. I told her to bring her detector and we would detect a few pullouts on the highway as we headed home. She got there and we went by a spot at an intersection where some old diggings came down almost to the highway. She started detecting and I walked over to the edge of the diggings and started detecting. Within a few minutes got a booming signal with my GB Pro. I looked down a saw what I thought was a large flake of gold. I thought to myself, WOW! I reached down to pick the piece up and saw that it was a gold coin.The coin turned out to be a 1843 D (Dahlonega,Georgia) two and a half dollar/Quarter Eagle. It has the large D and large date. Thanks, TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Wow, congratulations Ray, that's awesome! Your first, or just one of many? Never found a gold coin myself but now that I am in gold coin country it is for sure on my list of things to do. I suspect I will have to work a bit harder than you did for that one. That's detecting for you; sometimes great finds just happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
