🥇 BANNER Saint-Gaudens,Twenty.Dollars,new pics

[Roger Mn.]

I got out woods hunting this after noon and started a new area on the side of a hill.
It wasn't long and I got a 75 reading on the DFX and I'm thinking silver.
I started digging and I see leather so I widen the hole to be carefull.
The leather was two inches down and the lowest point of the leather was six inches.
I pulled at the leather pouch and it came out and the coins slide out on the dirt
and that's when I seen two gold coins laying on top of each other.
Man I finaly got gold and wasn't sure what they were untill I got home right after I showed MPfish
My neighbor and detecting friend. He keep puting one in his pocket and I was saying don't rub them.
They both are 1914-s Saint-Gaudens,Twenty.Dollar gold. There is writing on the edge
e plu.ri.bus u.num. "Latin. One out of many. The motto of the U.S." and 13 stars.
Yes i'm very happy . It's my first and second gold coins ever. I have pounded that place many a day and a lot of days I came home with nothing.
I'll try to borrow mikes camera with macro setting to get better pic's since my camera is only for general picture takeing. I hope you all can experiance the finding of a gold coin or two.

That is as good as it gets....been doin' this 30 years and found one leather pouch filled with V's , Buffs, Wheats, a Barber Dime and Quarter, nothing close to that...hope you saved the pouch, tells the whole story. Congrats!!!

Thanks BURLIVES. Yes I have the leather pouch and most of it is must have rotted away so it's hard to tell what it was by whats left.

Way to go Rodger!
I'm happy for you.
I know that when you put in the time, effort, and research like you do, good finds are sure to be made.
On the down side... How are you going to top that one?
CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thanks bk. I Think it will be hard for me to top that. But you never know what's out there.

 

[Roger Mn.]

Beautiful coins for sure congrats and hh

Thanks dgaughan.

This is the stuff dreams are made of!
Congratulations!
Just a random walk in the woods? Hard to fathom!
Care to share any more info on the type of area you were hunting?
Were there any old roads or structures nearby? How far from the nearest town?
Natural springs? Caves? Fence rows? Anything else that would have drawn the owner to
hide this cache where he or she did?
Man! What a find!Thanks Magil. I would like to share more info but I allready have enough competition than I need.

Sorry, just realized that there are 3 pages of responses to this post.
Looks like some have already asked for a description of the area.

Thanks Magil.

Thanks silverfreak. My heart did start to race a little. I never thought I would ever find a gold coin. These are two beautiful gold coins. I don't think it can get any better than that.

Oh Man, you would have thought I found those beauties the way my heart was beating when I read your story.
It doesn't get any better than that Roger. Please leave a few in the ground for the rest of us though.

Wholly Molly!!!! That is the find of a lifetime if I've ever seen one. Things like that don't happen by accident. Can you help some of us by explaining your research that led you to choose this site to detect? I'd like to learn so I might can have something 1/100th that good to find. By the way:

Thanks alabamadan. If you know of some parks with woods go there.
I grew up buy a park as a kid. It has been detected hundreds of times by the best. Would you research about a park you lived by for years when you know It's been detected for 30 years. Not everyone loves to detect the woods. I don't find anything in the mowed areas but in the woods i'm still finding silver, Indian cents and Liberty nickels. I have posted this allready that south, southwest and west hillsides are the best place for finding old coins. I would think I could go to any woods with a hill faceing south or west and finds coins. If any one takes my advice and finds coins let me know.
