A poem.
The touch of gold brings a shiver to my spine.
When I think of it, it makes me feel divine.
Gold has been a beauty in the present and the past.
Way into the future it will still last.
Gold is the greatest of elements ever to exist.
The hopes of many who have dreamed and have wished.
You have found it my good man, and for that I salute you.
May we all be so lucky as to find it too!
|
It's the thrill of the hunt!

Hello, I have also been hunting 30 years or so and still no gold coins. I did, however find a 2008 NYG Super Bowl Ring last year in June. It had a worth of $25,000. Gave it back to the player who lost it. My best find so far. Received no reward, but enjoyed showing it to everybody. Your coin is awesome. Hope to find some gold soon. Many gold rings, but no gold coins. Good Luck, Keep Hunting, More Gold to Come !! Steviewhite-Fayetteville, WV

No reward for finding and returning a super bowl ring? Typical. What else would you expect from a jock? |

I was in shock when I found my one and only Morgan dollar, but I can't imagine finding a gold coin. I would probably have a good little cry before doing the happy dance.
That is sweet!

I have been detecting for over thirty one years and I am still waiting to find a gold coin, I have found a half-dime. a III cent 1866 but no gold coin. I would have hade to have a new pair of pants if I found a coin like that. I envy you. I went out to day and found some clad but nothing gold.

Thanks Again for all the comments. I never looked at the readout on my E-trac but dug the Gold Coin based on the sound of the object. No reason to look at the numbers for the target ID because of the area I was detecting, around old foundations. So I can't tell you what it read.
I hope all of you will find that Gold Coin you are searching for. It will happen when you least expect it.
