What an amazing day on several counts; first the finds, then the lack of more . I do have a question, as an XLT user: what kind of signal did you get on the Eagle? At least I know what the Barber is like. Congratulations.

Thanks everyone for all the replies to my posting!

Yes, I'm still on such a high from finding that gold coin. I've been metal detecting for 13 years now ~ I've found lots of cool stuff, but this gold coin is by far the best numismatic piece I've ever found. Last month I found a 1868-S Seated Liberty Half dime ~ back in 1999 I found a 1921-D Mercury dime ~ several Indian head cents, silver dimes, silver quarters, and the occasional semi-key date Wheat Cent.

There's still lots of other coins I haven't found yet ~ I still need a Barber Quarter, Standing Liberty Quarter, Large Cent, Half Cent, Flying Eagle cent, Two Cent, both types of Three Cent, 20c, etc.

It's sure gonna be hard to top this 1868 $10 gold piece ~ but I'm gonna try hard!

Thanks again!
Neil

I actually had several close targets when I was initially going over this area ~ I think the gold coin was coming in at about +50 on my XLT. I started pinpointing ~ the gold coin came out first, then a big nail, then the Barber Half, and finally another big nail. Then I let my son take his detector over it ~ he didn't find anything else.

Oddcoins, I'll trade one of my Barber quarters, an SLQ, large cent and my only 2 center for the Eagle . You can't beat 4 for 1 anywhere!

Shazam!

A good day of playing in the dirt. I figure no one in this area ever owned a gold coin so none were ever dropped.

You have achieved the metal detectorist's dream! Doubtful you will ever top that unless you find a really big cache somewhere. Congratulations and I can't express how thrilled I am for you. EXCELLENT!! M nty
