Found my first and only gold coin in May of 2016. 1853 US one dollar, type 1.

Big congrats! I have detected a lot of years and have found a silver dollar (Peace 1925), but no gold coin. Would love to find a gold coin!

 

[PDH]

I'm still looking for my first gold coin. Maybe one day I'll stumble upon one. Congrats to you!

I have found 2, 1/10th oz Panda Bear gold coins in bezels, but in 50 years of swinging never a U S gold coin. HH jim tn

No US Gold coins here either, congrats on your beauty of a coin. I have been fortunate to have found 4 Celtic golds and 1 hammered gold ( Edward the1st ) while detecting in the UK.

I dug this 1911 $2.50 out of a old park mine was in 2016 my first year back to detecting the park gave up lots of old silver and halves and one Morgan dollar and my first CC seated quarter.
I still go back .
The gold coin was attached to a sterling money clip I first found the clip in the hole and saw that a coin had fallen off so I dug out a handful of dirt and saw the gold coin that was once attached I was in shock! I had the bezel around the coin removed by a jeweler.

I may have not been clear in my title, not specified to US only, I meant for ALL gold coins. Your Edward is a beauty and along with the Celtic, wow that is old, old, x old history there!

I'll go through my never sell stash and see if I still have one. I gave my grand daughter one when she was young and she still has it and wears it a lot. HH Jim tn

I should clarify, not counting competition hunts. Lots of 2 and 2 and a half pesos have come my way not counting raffle drawings!

A friend let me scan his $20 Double Eagle, does that count????

Looking at a previous post/thread it seems prudent to dig zincs now…… went you least expect it as they say…..
