Detector(s) used
MineLabs (Explorer ) , Tesoro (DeLeon ) ,Garrett (AT Pro Gold)
My dad was at the tail end of a 4 day visit to the island and anyone that been here knows the game you have to play with the ferry !!! While on my phone every ten minutes,,, I figured I would do a little detecting on an old colonial cart path that passes thru a field. I was using my Tesoro and often don't dig targets in the 40-59 range . This was a very clean crisp target only 5 inches down. I really thought it was a shiny Lincoln penny until I picked it up. Hope folks enjoy the pics !!!

I've just added a couple more pics , gently cleaned, also showing the edge.

Hi again,, I just added more pics of gold coin beside two silvers I pulled in Vermont and a dime and quarter for size reference. Also , I pulled this button with in ten feet of the coin. It took a (older ) hit on the front ??? not sure what it is ,, looks like a log cabin. Any help ??, love to hear it , thanks

1787 gold George III guinea, wow! I think I would have it made into a ring. Very nice.
 

That has to be the pinnacle find for any colonial relic hunter. I keep hoping that one shows up in the bottom of one of my dig holes. Congratulations on a banner find.
 

Banner vote is in. Colonial gold is the stuff we dream of in the US
 

George III gold spade guinie?
795 pounds sterling value? Coin guys? Weigh in and enlighten us please? Awesome awesome awesome
 

OH MY GOSH! The dream find for anyone in the U.S.!!! A really rich person would have to have dropped it. I only know of ONE other guy (a good friend of mine) that found one and his was 1790! Huge congratulations!!!!!
 

Is it a full Guinea? a half or a third?
