1880 $5 DOLLAR GOLD COIN!!!!!!

[Vino]

It rained here most of the morning, I was really hoping to get out.
So around 1pm it stopped. That kind of shot my plans for the day.. (man im happy about that). So I decided to stay close to home, about 5 blocks from me..lol A PARK
Yes a park, I believe its been around since mid 1800s.
I was there about a year and a half ago when I first started detecting. Found some wheat pennys there.
So I figured I would spend a few hours just to get out before the holidays. Maybe find some merks and rosies.. Well I found 2 merks a IH and some wheats..
Until the gold coin showed up and stole the show!!!!
The best thing is I got it on video.
At first I thought it was a gold ring, so I pulled out my phone to video it, because my wife keeps saying to me why dont you find gold like the other people Lol
I always tell her, im not interested in gold. I like colonial!!!
Well this changes things a little. Haha.
I cant post the video right now, because I was not a Gentleman in it.
Needless to say I was pretty excited over this modern coin!!
This is just icing on the cake, my Christmas came early.
I will never look at a park the same again.
Thanks for looking.
George

When you called me today and said you had found a gold coin, I must admit I wasn't surprised. After all I have seen you post this year, nothing would surprise me! I knew it was just a matter of time considering the areas you hunt and how often you get out. Congrats on a real bucket lister George. Banner vote going in

Just for the record that is a real gold coin and made of real gold.

 

[ARC]

Here is some deep thought...
Imagine...
In 1880... loosing a 5 dollar gold coin then...
Is like loosing 300+ dollar bill now.

 

[Iron Patch]

Can you upload it to youtube. I much prefer the unedited versions.
