I got out woods hunting this after noon and started a new area on the side of a hill.
It wasn't long and I got a 75 reading on the DFX and I'm thinking silver.
I started digging and I see leather so I widen the hole to be carefull.
The leather was two inches down and the lowest point of the leather was six inches.
I pulled at the leather pouch and it came out and the coins slide out on the dirt
and that's when I seen two gold coins laying on top of each other.
Man I finaly got gold and wasn't sure what they were untill I got home right after I showed MPfish
My neighbor and detecting friend. He keep puting one in his pocket and I was saying don't rub them.
They both are 1914-s Saint-Gaudens,Twenty.Dollar gold. There is writing on the edge
e plu.ri.bus u.num. "Latin. One out of many. The motto of the U.S." and 13 stars.
Yes i'm very happy . It's my first and second gold coins ever. I have pounded that place many a day and a lot of days I came home with nothing.
I'll try to borrow mikes camera with macro setting to get better pic's since my camera is only for general picture takeing. I hope you all can experiance the finding of a gold coin or two.

Rom. 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
Rom. 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

When I first saw the title of your post, I was expecting another one of those Pine Tree Shilling type of hoaxes that we see here in the forums from time to time, but after reading your post I am amazied. You have caught not one, but two of the Great White Sharks of the metal detecting world. You have bowled 2 consecutive 300 games. You have gotten 2 holes in one!
Simply AMAZING!!
I need to request one favor though:
Can you please take a clearer photo? Maybe try the macro mode, or stepping further back and using the zoom to get a clear shot? I am sure I am not alone in wanting to drool over yuor amazing find.
Banner for sure (if you can get a clearer shot)!

With some better photos, those should make the banner for sure. Wow! Oh--and by the way, that staining can be removed with no harm to the coins by soaking them in wood bleach for a while, then rinsing them off with water. |

The part that really fascinates me is that you were able to recover some of the leather and hardware, congratulations on such an interesting find! (and kudos for recognising the leather and making the recovery) There appears to be three smaller coins, what were they? ...oh yes, a banner no brainer |

Congrats on the find of a lifetime !
Two buckles on the leather.............Suggests a larger bag - maybe a saddlebag........... If so, I would be searching the area even more with your gain cranked because only two coins in such a relatively large bag would be kind of odd................ Might be somebody buried the bag along with two missed coins seperate from its contents.............. if so I would expect the rest to be buried deeper..........

Those are beautiful. A truly amazing find! Can you give any background on what happened in those woods? Obviously you need to keep the location a secret but what made you choose that location?
Thanks limegoldconvertable68. Woods hunting has been very good to me since all the mowed grass areas are detected out. I havent detected much in that location so I had to give it a go. I've been detecting 5 woods around Rochester and Oronoco Mn. They all are full of shotgun and rifle shells so a lot of hunters in the past. I have found 4 traps so there was trapers in those woods and farmers who put up fences. I have always found coins on the south to west slopes in wooded areas. |

That is amazing. I am astonished.
You found the most beautiful 20 dollar gold coin, actually you found two.
I am completely in shock. I feel a little sick, and a little dizzy.
Thanks plehbah. I think I was in shock when I saw them. I was expecting silver. |

By far, the most beautiful American coin ever produced. So what medication will you be taking tonight to help you sleep? See you on the Banner tomorrow!
Thanks curbdiggercarl57. I think it will be pure exhaustion that will put me to sleep. |

With some better photos, those should make the banner for sure. Wow! Oh--and by the way, that staining can be removed with no harm to the coins by soaking them in wood bleach for a while, then rinsing them off with water. Thanks BuckleBoy. |

That is a big wallet.
Was there any remains of paper currency?
Oh, God, how I have prayed that this would happen in a tot-lot......
No remains of paper currency but I will look at it better when I get up tomorrow. |

(and kudos for recognising the leather and making the recovery) There appears to be three smaller coins, what were they? ...oh yes, a banner no brainer Thanks W57. There were three metal snaps in there for the leather wallet plus two buckels and it was folded. I'll try to piece it together to see what size it was. |
