Thirty One years of Detecting over 300,000 holes dug and I finely dug my first Gold Coin. Found on 3-28-09. It is a 1878 US Five Dollar Gold coin found with my new E-Trac detector. It was like all other signals when digging old foundations, you get a good signal you dig it... But this one was different, NO junk, No shell casing, No Copper, No Lead but a wedge of soil with this gold edge sticking out the side. I could see the gold but in the past I have been fooled by heavy Gilt golden Buttons. I could see the reeding on the edge of the item. I knew now it was a gold coin. As I removed the dirt I was hoping it was a $10.00 gold coin, then I was hoping it was a 1700 gold coin, I then so carefully removed the dirt but I did not scrap the dirt off I picked it off not wanting to cause damage to the surface. I did manage to hit it slightly on the edge with a shovel but you can only tell when holding the coin in the light you can see the new scrapes. Wow 31 years , thousands of holes and when you least expect it .. A Gold 1878 $5.00 coin appears in a hole that should have been just another target ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You never know... !!! Bucky

To The Treasure Net Community: I wanted to say thank you to all who have commented on my Gold Coin find. Your comments made me laugh especially the ones about the years and holes that will need to be dug if you use me as a guide before you find one. Folks, I hope it takes you less time to find yours then it took to find mine. I am hoping come Saturday when I return to the foundation to continue my search, I'll find another one. Then, we can divide all the holes and years by 2 and the odds will be better for all of you. If you use two (2) gold coins in 31 years then for every 150,000 holes you can expect to find a gold coin. Wish Me Luck and Thanks, Bucky |

It looks like it has a little damage (not from you) to the nose of the bust - that makes it more or less worthless, so I'll take it off your hands for you if you want Really nice find - diamond rings, gold coins and spanish silver are the 3 things I hope to find some day. They're all still on my list as of today! Really nice job. |

Truly fantastic. I had to keep reading to make sure it wasn't an "April Fool's" posting. You were hoping for an eagle or a 1700's gold coin but I'd say a half-eagle is certainly something to gloat about! Hope you find another, and another!
