🥇 BANNER The best day ever! GOLD COIN!

[pepperj]

Went on a road trip today to get some detecting in.
About 60 miles across country to the permissions.
6 sites were planted in winter wheat.
2 sites in a 1 foot plow, and 1 site partially cropped.

So first target after 30 minutes 1867-1967 penny

I said that needs to a 100 yrs older.
1.5 hrs later the next target I finally justified in taking a photo.
A saw nut

I got tired of plow row detecting so I went on a corn stubble field, found what was a big ash layer down 6" and over a large foot print.
Probably a barn that burnt down.
So between the saw nut and this buckle was another 2 hrs.
I was thinking this is a hard day for no really good keepers.

Few minutes later this item, a tie pin of sorts?

Then a button

Crushed thimble

The next one I thought it only takes one to make a hunt.
Beautiful bell

Little did I know that 10 minutes later life would so great!
Solid 80 on the Deus ll
I thought gee a coin would be nice.
Dug the plug saw the edge-and for next few minutes I just looked at it and said NO WAY!
I looked away looked down and said it again No Way.
I must of repeated this 10 times.

Full Sovereign - weight
7.9 grams, 22.05mm in
diameter with a Fine
Gold content 7.32
grams.

150 yrs of being rolled around in the field.
She's only been kissed on the cheek.
I'm too excited, too tired to clean anything up.
But will tomorrow and post the other stuff.
Perfect day!.

I don't know you but you seem to be someone with class and integrity You find something nice to say when others post AND with your post on the many neat to completely awesome finds in your most recent digging /detecting trip you earned a good job and nice items that you came back you deserve some kind words also

Thank you for the kind words.

Thanks DigToChina
It seems that gold on this side of the border was very slim.
Public parks or gathering places have a better chance of having one.
I haven't found another coin st this site.
Today I spent a couple of hours there.
Got another perfect sounding 80 on the Deus ll.
I was within a few feet where I dug the gold.
I even clicked a photo of the screen.
But all 80's aren't created equal. 🤣

Sitting here enjoying a margarita and still drooling over that gold.
What a great find!

Sorry for the late reply as been dealing with an under the weather type week.
Yes it still has me drooling as well everyday and the margarita effect isn't needed.

Hi Terry
Longtime no see

Thanks Sal

For going on 5 hrs of swinging, and only the bell to show for those hours basically it has a life changer in recoveries for me.

It seems that gold on this side of the border was very slim.

For gold coins and caches, I’ve always figured that’s not just due to population levels but mainly due to our historically stable banking system. I don’t know that for a fact though.

All 80's aren't created equal. 🤣

You could make a detecting t-shirt out of that 😂

Historically stable? Not so quick here as the Bank Of Upper Canada went bankrupt just 7 yrs prior to the minting of this gold coin.
Liquidation was just 2 yrs before, so little trust as folks lost millions.
Here's a good read:

Then we had other runs, the dGreat Depression where I personally knew in-laws that still buried money in the back yard. (No trusting the banks)
The soils were broken just 200 yrs ago, not much history.
Folks getting off the boat-just the working hands and a dream.

[SHAWANI]

ذهبت في رحلة برية اليوم للحصول على بعض الاكتشافات.
حوالي 60 ميلا عبر البلاد إلى الأذونات.
تم زراعة 6 مواقع بالقمح الشتوي.
موقعان في محراث بطول قدم واحد، وموقع واحد تم اقتصاصه جزئيًا.
View attachment 2113703
لذا الهدف الأول بعد 30 دقيقة 1867-1967 بنس View attachment 2113727
قلت أن هذا يحتاج إلى 100 سنة أكبر.
بعد 1.5 ساعة الهدف التالي الذي قمت بتبريره أخيرًا بالتقاط صورة.
الجوز المنشار
View attachment 2113704
لقد سئمت من اكتشاف صف المحراث، لذلك ذهبت إلى حقل قش الذرة، ووجدت طبقة رماد كبيرة أسفل 6 بوصات وفوق بصمة قدم كبيرة.
ربما الحظيرة التي احترقت.
لذلك كان هناك ساعتين أخريين بين صامولة المنشار وهذا الإبزيم.
كنت أفكر أن هذا يوم صعب بالنسبة لأي حارس جيد حقًا.

حفرت القابس ورأيت الحافة - وفي الدقائق القليلة التالية نظرت إليها وقلت لا مفر!
نظرت بعيدًا ونظرت إلى الأسفل وقلت ذلك مرة أخرى بأي حال من الأحوال.
لا بد لي من تكرار هذا 10 مرات.

I agree that GT has made the ability to communicate is a lot easier in today's world.
Still have fond memories of Bangkok when we visited in 92/93 backpacking and buying silver.
