DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!!!!

I went back to an old house site near where I live this morning for a bit. The house was built in 1924. Last time I was there I found a couple of wheat pennies and a foreign coin 19787 franc coin. Well went back this morning for a bit with my Teknetics T2 detector. Found a couple more wheat pennies. Found a 1947 nickel and then I hit a good pulltab signal. Now I dont normally dig pull tabs even though I should. However this one was a very strong pulltab signal and strong signal. So I dug it up. OMG! I ABOUT PASSED OUT when I seen the gold shining. At first I thought it was a gold pendant but as I scraped the dirt away I realised its a 1914 COIN!!! LOL I am still in shock. And not just that it already has been made into a necklace. It is a france coin I think Has a rooster on the back. 20 francs. I am so escited. Never thought this would actually happen!!

Thanks guys for looking! VERY HAPPY to share this adventure with yall! Thanks for any comments! Think I might go tomorrow to see what its worth. Not sure If I will sell yet. =)

One day......I keep hoping as well... sounds crazy but i keep concentrating on the pull tabs out just to try to luck up and find a gold ring or coin
 

Totally awesome find. Don't sell it. It is a keep sake to have for a life time. I have found 4 gold rings and several gold charms, but not a coin. I can only dream!
 

Congrats on a spectacular find,we all yearn to find a nice "goldie" and yours is in great shape! HH....
 

Yea I may keep it for a while.
 

they don't call it gold fever for no reason lol , wtg thats a sweet find .
 

You probably said : Shucks, no pull tab? ................GRiley.
 

Lol no pull tab was the last thing on my mind after I seem that gold :)
 

NICE GOLD !. I HAVE NEVER FOUND GOLD BUT I PLAN ON IT LOL
 

It gets old digging pulltabs, I've dug THOUSANDS. BUT- The reward of seeing GOLD is worth it. A gold coin! Still on my bucket list! Congrats man! You have to dig trash to find the gold! :icon_thumleft:
 

I agree now I know exactly what to set my disc now so I don't notch out gold :)

Olekyground, that is a fantastic find. I've got a few of the French and Swiss 20 franc coins and they are some of my favorites. Mine I bought. Couldn't imagine finding one. Congrats. I think selling it would be a mistake. It's a very unusual find and on top of that, gold is down right now. Hang on to it.
 

The T2 LOVES gold, way to go man!
