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

Oh yeah, that sounds about right!
You found everything else a detectorist could possibly want or need to find to make a year complete, a gold coin is basically the icing on your 2015 cake!
Huge congrats and merry Christmas !!

[toasted]

In 1880... loosing a 5 dollar gold coin then...
Is like loosing 300+ dollar bill now

Exactly what I was thinking! What a huge loss. And who the heck was walking through a park in the 1880's with a $5 gold coin in his pocket? The guy must have been rich!

When my phone beeped indicating I had a text message I looked and saw it was from George. I thought to myself oh great, what has he found now! I wasn't prepared for what I saw and heard. The video portion of the video was fine. It was the audio part that had me blushing. It was like someone with tourettes on speed. It would make sailors blush, and women cover their children's ears. Was he excited, YOU BETCHA!!

Congratulations on another stellar banner worthy find my friend. Great way to end the year.

As unlikely as it will ever be, a find like that is always in the deepest recesses of my mind with every beep I hear. Congrats on a majestic beauty.

Unbelievable, only you can find a gold coin in a park that has been hunted time and time again. Banner for sure!

Let me be the first to congratulate you George! It was awesome to hear the excitement in your voice when you called, and I was so happy for you. Like they say, the best finds are always unexpected, and that was certainly the case here. Banner vote on the way.

Thanks Bill,
You just never know what is going to be in the hole?
I thought I was digging a IH, or war nickel. .lol
