🥇 BANNER My first gold coin and its a $10 Indian !!!!

[metaldetkid]

Finally got out today with my son and was not expecting a 1915 $10 gold Indian. We had been hunting for about 1 1/2 hrs. and my son was in the truck taking a break and I moved to a spot on the back side of the church and started finding 3 back to back wheat pennies. Than a old great seal button than the gold hit. I didn't know it was a gold coin and thought it was a piece of trash in the side of the hole so I used my digger to pop it out and scratched the obverse.(rooky mistake) Lesson learned to go easy on all good solid targets no matter what they read. I was so excited I ran for the truck to show my son and realized I was dragging my pinpointer the entire way. I should have slowed down and videoed the find but we just never find stuff like that. My son got back out swinging but didn't find much but a US screw back button and a few bullet casings. This is one hunt I will never forget.

Veterans presence by the relics.
A couple spent cartridges appear to have been ceremonial salute blanks?
The gold is a stunner for sure.
