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

There's just nothing like a gold coin coming out of the ground, especially when it's not a jewelry piece. Way to go Vino!

Wow. That's a pretty one too. I had to buy mine, as I will probably never be soo lucky.
I see you started listening, and taking my advice, lol.
All BS aside though. Id like to be the first to sign up for Vinos DEUS Bootcamp.

[pepperj]

WOW! Late to the party as it flew up onto the Banner, Congrats on the beautiful $5 George you got a really sweet gift to finish the year of digging.

 

[Carolina Tom]

I knew that it would happen one of these days. Congrats on achieving the pinnacle of our hobby!

Couldn't have happened to nicer boy at Christmastime!

 

[Sod Buster]

What a Christmas present.........a beautiful gold coin. Congrats on the Banner, you deserve it for sure.

 

[DennisNJ]

Your Liberty five dollar gold coin value is at least $263 each. With almost a quarter of an ounce of gold in your coin. See Coin Value

 

[Sandskimmer]

Vino, one heck of a find man. I'm going to be giving my local parks a thorough sifting after that beauty. Maybe your mystery benefactor stumbled through my neck of the woods haha. Way to finish up the 2015 season in style!

Cheers,

Will

 

[Vino]

Thank You everyone for the votes and kind words.
I woke up this morning with a gold hangover! Lol
For some reason I did not sleep well.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all..
I will be doing a year end wrap up in the next few days.
George

 

[baspinall]

Sweet! About time a guy from our area finds a gold coin lol Great find George.

 

[sutphin]

VINO VINO DIGGING AROUND, FOUND A GOLD COIN TO POST THAT WOULD MAKE ANYBODY PROUD ....BEAUTIFUL ....

 

[Coilcrazy2]

Incredible job George! Especially in a park like that! Mid-tones seldom turn out to be this grand in parks as we all know. Merry Christmas and CONGRATULATIONS...Hey wait, I used to play baseball in that park when I was in high school.LOL

 

[Steve in PA]

Three Banners in one year. That's quite an accomplishment George
If you come up with another Banner find before the year is out I'm gonna launch an investigation

 

[Tedyoh]

Awesome find..........what I dream about every time I go out in the field........now if the Deus helped you find that coin I would hope you'd list it first in your "detectors used" listing! I'm curious as to the ratio of banner finds between the XP and Minelab....

 

[Bill D. (VA)]

Just a quick congrats on the banner my friend. And I hope you're planning to go back to that park and find those other gold coins that fell out of that poor guy's pocket. Good luck, and Merry Christmas!

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Awesome gold coin, great detail! Congrats! Congrats on making banner!

 

[TwoYewts]

Incredible find Vino. Much deserved as well for all the time you not only put in yourself; but, also for the time you graciously give to the rest of us in answering questions, having fellow detectorists tag along with you, etc. Happy Holidays to you and yours and may your 2016 start off like your 2015 is ending.
