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

Vino! What a year you've had! Banner vote in. Congrats on a super rare GOLD coin.

Thanks Gheenoe!!
Its been a fun ride this year..

 

[Vino]

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

Thanks Steve!!
Glad you have been on the ride with me..
Now get out there with that new machine and find something awesome. .

 

[Vino]

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

Thanks IP,
Im not having this one tested!!! Lol

 

[Vino]

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

Nope, $134.00 dollars. Lol

 

[Vino]

That's incredible Vino!!! Banner no doubt. That's gonna be tough to beat. Post the videos, maybe you can rate it R. This gets all of us pumped!!

HH, Relic Nut

Thanks RN,
I will get it up!!

 

[Joe hunter]

Wow very very happy for you
Congratulations

 

[Vino]

Another typical Vino hunt. Lol. What can I say man... That thing is incredible. I had a huge smile as you were telling me about it. Voting now

Thanks Brad,
When you called and were telling me about your stellar day, i didn't want to interrupt you. You needed and deserved a hunt like that for digging what you put into this hobby!!!

 

[jeweler21]

Congrats. My vote for banner is in.
Good Luck & HH

 

[Mudslide]

Terrific find, Vino!! Drooling over that gold beauty!! Congrats!

I retract this post now!!! 03/9/16
Sad sad sad

 

[Patriot Relics]

Way to go George, figured this post was just a matter of time away what a way to cap off 2015. Congrats on the banner gold!

 

[port ewen ace]

got a call from BEEZ informing me that you landed a half eagle. I then proceeded to a local stone house to punch the walls. all bandaged up now, so allow me to join the line of minions outside your door to grovel at your feet. the White House residents are on vacation (surprise), so you should hit the front yard on Christmas Day. anyone in favor of changing Treasurenet to " VINONET"??

 

[BluffHunter]

That coin looks in better shape than the new change in my pocket, congratulations.

 

[JeffInMass]

George, I couldn't imagine having a better year than you had already had, and now this! Un-friggin-believable. A mighty big congrats to you sir- that is one absolutely awesome find!

Hobby ? ? ? huh ? wha ?

Um... tis now a sport...
Havent you seen those guys rolling around and doing summer salts... flips etc.

Anyway... screw those guys... heh

For some its a hobby... for others... A way of life.

Seems you might fit into the latter Vino. :P

 

[kingskid1611]

Unfreaking believable, What a fantastic way to end a year. Now you can retire that Metal Detector and save those finds for the rest of us.

 

[Vino]

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 !!

Thanks IH,
Believe it or not? Dont get me wrong, I very happy to have found this. But I would have loved to have ended my year with a reg button, preferably a USA. .
I have more to look forward to next year..
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

 

[gordonquixote]

No. Freakin'. Way.
