[justin75790]

Well i finally pulled the dfx out after being busy with work for 3 months...I hit a local park that i have detected numerous times.I almost forgot how to run this hi-teck machine so just put it on coin & jewelry mode and started digging everything. It paid off, about 10 pull tabs later i dug a 14K religious pendant and chain! Then maybe 10 yards away i dug the gold ring with the panda coin, it reads 1945 dos pesos on the back.I havent done much research on it, so feel free to fill me in..I also dug 2 fake rings, 3 pendants,a few bullets empties, a bracelet, and a dog tag...oh yea and a bucket full of trash!! but had a blast digging every piece..this was all in 3 hunts about an hour each. Thanks for looking!!

Hey Justin,

Major congrats on striking two golds. What an awesome day!!

Your ring has me stumped. The reverse of your coin ring shows "dos pesos", which is a Mexican gold coin, but the obverse shows a panda, which is a Chinese gold coin. Is there just one coin in the ring or two? If it's just one, then I'm not really sure what you have there. I would get it checked out to have it authenticated.

Congrats, again. That gold sure looks good!!

Some info on the Panda Coin

http://www.taxfreegold.co.uk/mexico2pesos.html

The Mexican gold 2 pesos used to be a very popular small bullion coin before fractional Krugerrands were introduced in 1980. Apart from investors and collectors, we used to sell large quantities to jewellery manufacturers for use in jewellery, particularly ear-rings, where their small size (12.85 mms), and low weight (1.66 grams) made them ideal.
Dated from 1919 to 1947, the 1945 date is the easiest to find. We believe these are still officially restruck using this date.
Krause shows a substantial quantity of 1948 as having been minted, but it is likely that these were never issued, or used an earlier date.

Justine, did you use the standard programs in memory, or did you make some changes to the existing stored program? I'm just curious because I own a DFX and I really like it though it hasn't rewarded me with gold.

Those are some nice gold pieces.

You got that right! Some Awesome Gold!!!
