Nice piece. Can we see the reverse? Maybe a short description on how you found it and how deep.


Nevermind I seen it in todays find and read about it.

Whats wrong with the reverse?


PS.

OK, just seen it in todays finds half way down the post

Once again great find, I am sorry for jumping on you, I thought I was in Todays Finds when i saw this here.

You lucky dog. I know that felt good. Congratulations. What a hobby.

I'd say you're right, you might never top it! But it will be fun to add others to display around it.

The thing is in detecting you can never say never. I found my best button not even 2 years in, best silver at about 5 years, and best copper this year (10 years). One really doesn't top the others but it sure felt like it on the day it was dug. So you might never dig a big gold coin again but you might find something different that you like just as much. At two years you're still wet behind the ears.

I think I'd crap my pants if I saw that was under my plug.

I've been hunting 30 +.....and never found a gold coin. So, you've got plenty of time to find another.
But, this one is one sweet coin, for sure.

Never did post a story to this one... I was curious as to the story behind finding it.
If you ever get the time to do a quick write up, I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants to hear
