Man beautiful finds! That gold coin is amazing!
 

Great finds...but great example of east coast west coast....yes us east coast guys have more history and coins but you west coast guys have all the gold coins!!!! This is his 14th gold coin...I know guys in 50 years that haven't got one...but regardless WTG man let's see more gold coins....
 

bfratta, I don't hunt with that screen mode. I prefer instead to hunt with the cursor on the screen. So I never really paid attention to that. The coin is all put away now in some displays, but ..... I'm sure someone on the net has done a listing of where all the USA gold coins read on the 00/00 scale. It will read at about where the beefier square tabs read. I say "beefier" , so as not to be confused with a more common square tab variety that reads lower. On the Whites scale (XLT, eagle, etc...) a $5 reads at about 48 or 49. Which, when you think about it, is a fairly high conductor. So .... for example .... you could even be knocking out nickels and round tabs, and STILL get a $5 gold.

Glad I read this.. I often wondered where certain Gold Coins would 'VDI' on my XLT.
Good to know that I can be digging targets over 40 VDI & Still hit on $5 gold or Larger.
Still a Killer Coin & From my home State.
