Hey folks, I haven't posted any of my finds here in awhile and I hope that everyone enjoys seeing this one. I love to hunt Native Artifacts and older Relics out in the bush and came across this coin beside a portage that has been used for years and years. I don't get too many signals while bush whacking so I dig everything that goes beep. This coin was a few inches under some mud and rocks on the edge of the river. I can't believe that I actually found this while looking for Artifacts, found a nice little stone knife for my troubles that day as well. This is probably my first and last gold coin that I will ever find but will be returning to pound the heck out of that site again this Fall or early Spring. Maybe the person who lost this years ago had more in his pockets that day? This is by far the oldest coin that I have ever found and was shaking for hours after digging it. Thanks for looking and good luck to all of you in your future hunts. :headbang:

How come this isn't on top? :icon_scratch:
Finding a gold coin in Canada is extremely rare.
Finding it out in the wilderness is even more rare.
BANNER!!!!
 

I agree with Muddy.....what are the odds of finding an old gold coin in the wilderness? Very well done!
 

Yes, this is a very nice French coin. French gold coins are much harder to find in North America then Spanish and British so this one really deservers to have a spot on the top, but just like in American Idol...you have to vote.
