It's a little cooler today and wanted to get a quick lunchtime hunt in so I went to a local soccer field
I always see people posting gold rings found in soccer fields so I figured why not give it a try

I was digging all the low tones in hope I would find some gold. I got an almost overload low tone that just screamed in my ears. Dig the plug and only 2" down see gold.

Pull it out and I know immediately what it is. A 1984 1/2 ounce 24 karat (.999)panda gold coin. I never thought I would find a gold coin.

I am still shaking as I write this. With the bezel it looks like it was on a necklace I looked all around the area and could t find the necklace.

This was a find of a life time!!!!

Thanks everyone. Still. Can't believe it
 

Fantastic find, I have yet to discover one but hope to one day.
 

That's freaking amazing! Banner for sure. I might need to get out of the farm fields and start hitting the Pittsburgh parks and soccer fields lol
PS might be a heavy gold chain nearby...

Congrats on your gold coin, it's a real beauty.

Thanks Steve

I needed a change of pace from the woods and it pod off. I hammered a 40 sq yd area around the coin and no chain to be found. Maybe broke and they felt the chain slipping after the coin hit the ground. Chain saved and coin lost
 

Holy smokes! That is a banner find for sure! Pandas command a premium as it is, but heck, just knowing you got that weight in one shot is amazing. Fantastic stuff and many congrats are in order!
 

Pandas bring a premium. Well done.
 

You just gave me new hope for those same tired old parks, schools and ball fields. I STILL haven't found my first gold coin yet, but it's only been 28 years of detecting, I just need to have alittle patience.
