Detector(s) used
Minelab Etrac
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
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.

I've been looking at your pictures...and drooling!

Pretty Fantastic finds! BIG CONGRATS! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That leather pouch/wallet is interesting too. I am wondering if this was buried on purpose, for safe-keeping or as loot? Hmm could there have been a story in the paper at the time (some time after 1914) about it? That kind of a loss would have been news worthy at the time, I believe.

Well, thanks a lot, Roger. You got my 'ol blood circulating real good now!

HH Joe
Thanks Dr Joe Prime.

roderdodger,

I can't imagine there is anyone who has EVER swung a coil over dirt who hasn't dreamed of finding just one Saint-Gaugdens. And here you go and find two in one hole!!!

As many have already said, CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have just found the holy grail of Metal detecting x's two!!! If'n I had done this, I'd a probably dropped dead on the spot of a heart attack; at the very least I'd consider quiting all together, after all it can't get any better than this!!!!!
Thanks Azman-1.
