50 or so nickel signals....then...

Worth? Don't worry about worth. The thrill of finding a gold coin is invaluable. If it were me I would never think about selling it. It would become part of what I am and would be passed along to one of my kids. Monty

You've read my mind, Monty.

It would be tough for me not to sell it. I do prefer to keep the coins because that is what my grandpa did. He used to have books and books full of mercs. But i could buy books full of mercs with one of those babys. I don't think I would want just one of those things. I would want a collection of them and how often does one find one of those? Sounds like a once in a lifetime thing to me.

I'm digging more pulltabs/nickle signals this year in search of my first buffalo (one of my goals for 2007) but I will take one of those instead.

Congrats

Way to go Diggin- this looks like the year for gold finds! Sweet!

 

[Baldingboy]

I would die. Actually, I DID hear you at my house.

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

OH MY GOD!!!!! I would be laying there dead but a smile on my face if I found that. Congrats what great feeling that must be.

Roger that. But the mortician would have a hard time wiping the smile off my face.

Very nice. $250 or thereabouts Skrimpy (if that's an "s" mintmark I see.) Don't say "dug" or the price drops 30% regardless of condition.

[Big K]

Wow nice find!!!!

 

[oddcoins]

YES YES YES YES!!!!!! I did the same thing on March 17 (St. Patrick's Day) of this year in Dorena Oregon! I was poking around in a field where I was told an old homestead once sat and I got a +50 signal on my XLT ~ I started digging and out popped a 1868 $10 gold coin!! WHAT A RUSH!!!

That is so cool man! CONGRAT'S!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!

Really really GREAT !!

 

[Monty]

fd, I'm so hooked I even get excited when I am only finding clad! But every once in a while I will get tired of digging pennies and discriminate them out. It's all good to me. Monty

 

[Ron B]

Boy, I've never found a gold coin. But, I take soltice from the fact that 99% of us never do or will! I'm proud to know you did and have chosen to share the pic with us! Great job and may you find ten thousand more!
