[size=medium]WHAT IS YOUR BEST FIND?[/size]

I though it would be interesting to post a new thread devoted to this. It would be even better if people could respond with a PHOTO, and possible value of your item. I love looking at everyone's latest treasures- Its what got me started MD'ing in the first place.

These are my best finds, the nugget was my first with a detector and the other pics were some of my first finds when i started coin shooting this year. I am still hoping for a coin from pre 1900 but I'm sure it will come.

I have found gold rings probably worth more, but this is my most treasured find.

hi clay! yeah, your're in for some surprises. i've been looking at coinnut's finds for the past half hour! wow! i'm glad he posted 'em up! it's just incredible what he's found. pictured are: a 1781 spanish 1/2 reale, a 1773 spanish 1 reale, and a 1795 spanish 2 reale, a nice union button, a rare young smith virginia seal button, c. 1842 - 1844, a 14k gold cross i found last summer.
the 1/2 oz. silver round i bought at the flea market. i thought it was cool, so i got a couple at a good price. this is just a small sampling of what is still out there to find if your're willing to be patient and persistent, and do your homework. all of these finds were unexpected and all were found in the most unlikely places.so, thanks for looking and reading, and hh,

Of my 11 gold coins, my favorite is an 1880S $20 gold. Not worth too much ($1000 at today's spot market?) but I liked it due to the extensive research it took us to finally find this stage stop site out in the middle of nowhere.

 

[Beale]

I have a few. The 1st one is 22K found in a tot lot. The second is a group all found withen one week of each other. My favorite of the bunch is the Walker half, Beale.

My Best Finds are not always my Favorites, I never think about what my finds
are worth, they are all Very Special
My Best coin find was a 1890 Morgan,but my favorite was an 1805 LC, my first

My Best jewelry find was a gold victorian christening pin, my favorite a very
strange sterling ring missing the stone

That's a hard question.

I don't have anything that good. I just find a lot of it.

Maybe one of these rings.

This is a 14k gold ring with a 1/5th ct pair shaped diamond.

This is a very old 14k white gold ring with (forgot what) stone.

This is a TrueTungsten steel ring. Cost $600 new.

This is my heaviest gold find.

My favorite is another story.

Happy Hunting,

Tabdog
