Weather in this part of VA has been wet and warm - lot of rain over the past few days so ground is very soft, since all the chores got done and had some time to myself, I headed down to do a little hunting at a neighboring farm that dates back to the 1750's. Stone walls surround the property so started there. Lots of iron, some large flat buttons, some smaller ones, and finally around the old smokehouse foundation, got a solid 85 on the ATP. Pulled a 1787 GEOIII silver shilling at about 4". Spent some time working the foundation and pulled a couple of flat buttons. About to call it a day as I got another 55 on the meter - usually a button and it did look like a gilt button until I got a closer look - 1762 GEOIII gold quarter guinea! I've been detecting for 45 years and have never found a gold coin - I guess "Never give up" applies!
