Another Great Find

I've been fortunate to have made some fantastic discoveries over the last month. The crucifix on Monday and this little gem which is certainly no exception. Found this on the dry slope yesterday at about 8 inches. After the first scoop, I saw the coin. As I reached down to remove it, the chain came out of the side wall. Very lucky in that I did not hit the chain or the coin with the scoop. The chain is 14k and the the coin was a limited edition mint from the 1967 in honor of the adoption of a new constitution. 28g in all.

My three-month old CTX has been good to me.

Pound me full of grounds and call me Mr Coffee!:yikes: Gimme change for a dollar and call me Mr Jingles! :drool: Stick a candle up my nose and call me Jack O'lantern!:yikes:

Aint that the damndest thing you've ever seen! :puke: A monster chain, and a gold coin to boot! Nice crisp pictures too!.:thumbup:..I'll be looking at this for months and drooling, better keep a bib handy!

Hey Jeff, when you get a chance, take the coin off the chain and give them each a sweep all alone just to see?..:shrug: Then provide us with your observations please..:please:..

I'm sure you will get a hit on the coin, but that woven 'rope' style chain might be invisible...A guy has to believe theres a lot of chains out there that have gotten missed...its great to find a monster like this one though...sure adds up faster than a lot of 2gr rings...really a hell of a find that warms our hearts and minds!

Ok, by FL do you mean Florida? Who got a new constitution in 1967? From the Pic it looks like Queen Lizard Breath 2nd, and the Bahamas? Is that right?

Great find BTW, I'm still waiting for my first gold!

Correct...Florida. And yes, they were minted in recognition of the new constitution of the islands in 1967. Somewhere around 6k were minted.

Wow, 6K is a pretty small mintage number! If it were a US coin you'd be lookin' at about five figures of value!

Good point. This one is as long as you include the two numbers to the right of the decimal point...lol
 
Id say that is a great find!! Ill bet the person who lost that one is kicking themselves.
