This is why we do what we do, big congrats, that's a BANNER find all day long :occasion14:
 

Rarely am I rendered speechless.

Hope the finder is a member so he can get banner.
 

:occasion14: words cannot describe ...holy o crap!!! It was like i was there!!
 

Well done John. Congrats
 

Incredible!!!!! This constitutes a hoard. We need to call the authorities and do the right thing... Keep them all! haha!
 

This video sure got my heart rate up, but what to do for an encore? enjoyed this video and their excitement.
 

Starting metal detecting in 1964 and I have found EVERYTHING............. except THAT!
 

How were the four gold coins lost? I believe this was a genuine cache. We all know it was not unusual to see treasures of this high value buried for safekeeping. The dates of these coins imply they were buried at about the time of our Civil War. Perhaps a Union soldier buried his life savings as he went off to war, but he never returned home. We'll never know the exact details, of course, but certainly behind the mystery is a tragic story.
 

No unfortunately its not my find and I wasn't there. These are my hunting friends and one of them does the videos "Detectorcomparisons". I saw the pictures as soon as John found the coins. I asked them if they minded me posting the video here on Tnet and they said go for it. I actually am pretty sure John IS a member here but he hasn't gotten back to me about that. We live easily 100 miles apart so its not unusual we don't all go on the same hunts. Ill get back and let you know if he is/is not a member as soon as I find out. Hope there was no confusion about me not being the one that found them, it was in the narrative in the first post.

I spoke to John today and unfortunately he is not a member of Tnet. I was sorry to hear that.
 

can't beat that banner all day long - congrats!!!
 

Thank you for sharing your friends most awsome 4 gold coins in the glory hole ! Am sure he is walking on sunshine! Lol
