What a day!!!!!! I had a few chores to do this morning and then had a few minutes to get out with the trusty minelab, and boy what a few minutes! I had been out the evening before and had dug a real interesting ring that is like a minature mosaic, I think its one of the most interesting things I have ever dug. Shortly after that I was hitting an area that I have beat up real hard and was working tight to a tree when I got a very ugly 1904 barber dime, but any silver is good silver  So this afternoon I decided to hit a spot that had produced alot of older coins for me and work real tight to all the trees there. after about 15 minutes of nothing I got a signal that was cross between a twist off top off a 40 ouncer and an indian head penny. Since I had'nt done alot of digging I decided to give it a shot. I cut my plug and flipped the top over and instantly saw the gold in the hole, my first thought was "its a gold colored twist off top  I reached in a as I grabbed the object the soil falls off the coin and I see a liberty head and then the hands start shaking! I let out a Yehhhaaaaaa! so loud a young couple that was taking a walk in the park came running thinking I had hurt myself lol. After explaining what had happened and showing off my prize I grabbed the minelab and off to the house I run! This is by far the best coin I have ever dug and I am sure the pics do it no justice as everyone including myself that has seen it agrees that it is flawless and looks as if it just came from the mint. It ends up its a 1899 five dollar gold piece with S mint mark! In this condition I know its gotta be a real winner! I told everyone that this was the year I would find the gold coin and I guess now I finally did it, man I am on cloud nine HH Slipperyjack47 |

Banner!! Very VERY nice find!! I do have a question though. How in the world did you leave IMMEDIATELY after digging a gold coin? I'd still be there!  After others saw what you dug, the word will get out quickly! I would expect several detectorists will be hitting that park in the very near future. |

I got a signal that was cross between a twist off top off a 40 ouncer and an indian head penny I think you'll be digging all screwcap signals now!!  I had always hoped that one of my Indian head signals would be a $5 gold piece, but so far no luck! That mosaic ring is a really cool find, but your gold coin completely overshadows it.

WHOO HOO IS RIGHT! I would vote banner but you are already there. You are so right everyone who picks up a detector is hoping to find "GOLD"! Only you did it. Enjoy the warm feeling each time that you look at it and hold it. This is mostly a once in a life time find. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy! HHHH

In MS63 it could sell as high as $1000. In MS65, as high as $9600. Anything MS60 and below it is still worth $225-$235, Nice find!
