🥇 BANNER I finally struck GOLD ! 1861 GOLD !

[DirtyMike]

Today was the day... A little over 6 years ago an ex-coworker brought a handful of relics into work with him. That day after seeing them I knew I wanted to try this hobby out. So the first chance we had he took me out digging and I have not stopped since. It was on that first day out that I mentioned to said co-worker that I would love to find a gold coin. As I recall after he had a good chuckle he said "good luck". Well here I am 6 + years later and to him I say thanks for my first time out digging and thanks for wishing me that "good luck". A gold coin was at the top of my wish list. Check that one off. I did manage to find some more relics too. A nice Mass staff cuff button, pocket watch key, kepi buckle, 3 ringer, button back, j hook, buck n ball, and a brass mystery item. Sort of looks like a part of a trigger guard. Thanks for looking and good luck digging.

Nice find!

ABSOLUTELY stunning! The only thing that's better than a Gold Coin is a CIVIL WAR SITE Gold Goin!


Big Congrats to you,

It's there just worn enough down to not get any detail in the pic

Congrats on the gold coin and banner! Which detector did you find this with and do you rember what it rang up as?

 

[DirtyMike]

Sure do. It was jumping like a piece of foil would. It was going between 45 & 55 on my Teknetics T2.

Sweet Coin!! GOLD COIN!!! congrats!

excellent find and nice condition

 

[screwynewy]

I also have a T2 and routinely dig those high 40's and they are always foil. I guess it depends on the site as to what the chances of it being gold are. Your find gives me more incentive to dig them all.
