🥇 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.

on a side not - do you know if they had a fair or carnival there in or around the property?
large brass ring looks like one that you would try to grab on merry go rounds -in the older days
where the saying "going for the brass ring" comes from

They do have 4th of july festival on the field next to property, we have found quite a few of these rings. I thought they were horse or mule tack. Thanks for info

your ring looks seamless - if it was tack - would prob have a big seam - I found one that looks exact size as yours - no seam and was found down street from old merry go round
showed to a few and they thought that was what it was too - I thought if you grabbed it though you could turn in for a prize - but maybe a few kids wanted to keep the rings - they usually were nice and shined brass
- its just a thought - this post is about your awesome find - but if it is what I say it is - then its kind of a relic than scrap brass

Being as its a $10 gold piece ill give you a $100 for it and you will make 10x face ....... I would go 15x face but it Is scratched On a serious note congratulations on a find that we all strive for and very few achieve .
