What is WRONG with you??????
Is the ground still frozen up there?????
Do you even have a Metal Detector?
Maybe your Neighbor! The one that lives in "CALIFORNIA" Who sold the coin for you on E-Bay believes you found it but the rest of us say
GET A LIFE!!!
You know it is guys like you that give this Hobby a BAD NAME!
Not only did you not find the coin but to just go to E-Bay and copy a PIC of a finised Auction Thinking NoBody would notice!!!
Here is a copy of the Auction that started the Day before you said you found the coin and ended the 27th!

I am not taking sides on this topic. But let me say this. Why would anyone make up a story and post a fake picture? For the find of the month prize? I guess maybe. BUT if you look on ebay for 90% of the coin finds on this site there is probably one for sale. So how can you be certain he lied? And if he is lying, maybe 90% of this site is too. I could care less if anyone lies. Because they are the ones that have to look them selves in the mirror everyday. Sure I get steamed when someone without a doubt lies to me but if I do not have 100% proof, I say let their concience(sp?)deal with it.
 
He SAID in his post he did not have any way to post a pic of the coin so his NEIGHBOR posted it on E-Bay for him! NOW He found the coin in MICHIGAN and the Coin being sold is from CALIFORNIA!!!
DO THE MATH!!!!
 
Well I didn't read the whole thread below, but seems to me that it would be pretty hard to put a coin on ebay the day before you find it. And it's hard to have a 'neighbor' who lives half a country away. That's pretty good proof to me. I don't know how a 10 dollar gold piece would ID on the explorer, since I've never found one, and I've never swept one across the coil to see either, but there seem to be a lot of holes in the story.
I remember the first time I encountered people saying they had found things they didn't. I couldn't believe it at first. What's the point of that kind of behavior? I don't know, but the bottom line is that some pathetic souls do tend to do it, for whatever reason. Maybe it is for the find of the month. Pretty sad really. It's kind of a cry for help.
How did the auction end, GD? Did the coin actually sell?

And he got busted too. He was from Massachusetts actually. He got a copy of an old gold coin, dug a hole, threw some dirt on it and took a picture like he had just dug it up! The guys on the forum noticed the big "c" stamped on it (for copy) and asked him why it hadn't corroded after being in the ground so long and not being gold. I think he disappeared from the forum after that <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> These people really have nothing better to do with thier time, which is actually very sad. I feel sorry for them.

I fell for it. <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":(">
 
I followed Jim's link below, and the coin didn't get any bids. Didn't he say he sold it? But that coin didn't sell.
 
At least the other fraudulent posters on the various forums have the decency to at least purchase the coin from Ebay first and then post photos of it in a hole claiming that they found it.
I guess if they "found" it on Ebay at least it's not a total lie...
 
If i ever get the chance i would buy you either coffee or beer. We need more people pointing out these LIARS. It is amazing how people have to resort to such low tatics to seem important !!
Thanks again GD and all th erest that exposed this farce
 
Another awesome post!
I thought the story sounded fishy, since all Michigan lumber camps I've hunted are full of iron and generally are a terrible place to use a WOT because of junk and brush. Not to say that the coins aren't there but from my exerience, those lumberjacks were complete and utter slobs - scrap metal, wire, rivets and cans are usually everywhere except on the outskirts of the camp. I'm still going to hammer Michigan lumber camps anyways because I believer there is a gold coin out there with my name on it.
 
The way my luck is going. I keep eBay in business! But, I couldn't find gold with a metal detector inside Ft. Knox <img src="/metal/html/sad.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":sad">
 
WOW!
WHAT A DETECTIVE. IF I EVER NEED A P.I. YOUR THE MAN I WANT
 
Oh so thats the way you find a gold coin I have been doing it wrong. And using my XS diging in the dirt getting my knees & hands dirty.
Thanks for the heads-Up on what I was doing wrong.
 
He kept finding silver, indians, buffaloes and you couldn't find a speck of dirt on them. The indians were pretty red brown coins too. I guess he got the reward he wanted. I don't see the fun in lying like that.
Congratulations for busting that guy Goldigger.
