GOLD COIN?

[quicksilver]

Not much happening at the beach for me last night. Not even much clad. But then this little coin type object. Rang in as ansolid 15. Looks like gold and is heavy. Very small also. Gonna take it to a jeweler this afternoon. Thanks for looking.

I was detecting a city park in a small town. The park in years past was an elementary school. I popped a plug and I could see a yellow reeded rim of a coin With trembling fingers I carefully extracted the coin and gently shook enough of the dirt off the coin to see that I had a gold plated clad quarter.


Talk about disappointed. Folks should not lose stuff like that it could give an old man a heart attack.

Gold plated quarter, lol, that sucks man.

I dug an Italian coin out of the surf once,that thing sparkled in the morning sun and it didnt have the slightest bit of tarnish on it...i was sure it was gold until i looked it up...

Gold coins come out of the ground bright and noticeably heavy for their size.
There will be no doubt when you find one.

Good luck on finding one they’re out there mine came from a park next to a beach in 2016 $5.00 half eagle I could not believe when I saw mine in the soil I knew right away I’d just found one so They’re out there .

 

[quicksilver]

Wow. Impressive.

And the park I found mine in was hit hard over the years but I've never seen anyone hunting it now?

Part of MDing I love is the disappointments...because they provide a lot of excitement, even if it is for a little while. Found a ring last year I convinced myself was a large gold and diamond ring. Had me on cloud 9 until I got home and tested it and it wasn't a diamond or gold. But the thrill was real, even for a little while. Don't get me wrong, the real thing is great; but even fakes and junk jewelry provide a lot of fun and excitement.

Fool's gold my worst nightmare"
One lucky guy found 80 x $20 double eagles in a jam jar in a garden when digging a frog pond in Hackney London and was nicknamed "Mr Bling" for a short while, but became unlucky when they were taken away from him when they found a descendant of the original owner of the coins when buried in WW2 :sad:

The coin was found with a silver money clip it was attached to but had fallen of the money clip so it came up as a high tone silver on my Etrac but I first dug up the money clip and saw it had a coin attached to it at one time so I did not dare to put my shovel back in the hole and I scooped out a handful of soil and so the gold in my hand and I just could not believe it!
My first year detecting to call it beginners luck lol...
