🥇 BANNER A Little Gold Coin From France Found In The Canadian Wilderness

[Backbacon]

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.

I can imagine a trapper coming back from selling his furs and something makes him end up in river and the coin came out of his pouch. Awesome find.

I can honestly say, "this is the first gold coin I ever seen posted that was actually found in Ontario soil"! Gives me hope that there's more to be found here then just shotgun shells and square nails!
Congrats Backbacon, beautiful find man!

Man, that coin looks great!! It doesn't look like it has been tumbling around too much. I wonder if it washed out of a bank upstream a bit? I would definitely be hitting that area well asap.

Congratulations!

Wait a second.. You are usually finding ancient artifacts? Now you find this gold coin?? You are the man. I would still be shaking from seeing that pop out of the ground. Congratulations on a great find. It sure shines up on top!

Congradulations on the banner, my friend....well deserved. Now find the cache of beaver plews he lost!

I can't wait to get back there, may not be until next year though. Believe it or not I have another spot that I would like to hit first before the freeze up and hopefully this weekend I'll make it there.
