Just Curious....who's been lucky enough to ever find a US gold coin??

[Mark ( ohio )]

Trust me, its nothing but dumb luck !!!! Took me 15 years of hunting in England before I found my first gold !!! It was a very expensive coin !!! )))))
If you have the means, it is worth the trip. Finding a US gold vs foreign, is slim to none. Most trips to England at least 1 person finds a gold coin. My last trip, some guy found 2 !!!
and I wasnt too far from him.

As far as counting, the post stated 'US gold coin' but I DO count all mine !!

Timing is everything in this hobby. Just being in the right place at the right time ,is 99% of finding great things. However, I do know some people that always seem to find the really
good stuff quite often. Me I have to work really hard at most everything. I hunt almost daily putting 4-5 hours. No one ever said it would be easy !!! But its so addicting !!!!! ))))

What was the denomination of the coin and how did it ring up on a target ID machine ?? ( and which machine did you use )

Any finders out there..

→ $2.50
→ 1913
→ The audio response was very good.
→ It didn't register a VDI number for Target ID because I was using a Garrett Ground Hog, 15 kHz, 7" coil, and it was the summer / fall of 1978, about 5 years before Target ID was introduced on a detector by the original Teknetics.

Thanks for the kind words. It surely is a thrill to see them in the dirt. Each time, you just cant believe what you are seeing.
