finally,my first gold coin.

**Shaun** · 16-10-2007, 18:11

and it only took 26 years lol.
i've been taking my camera with me for a while now just in case i found something nice but i never expected something this nice.

here is the field i've been on for the last few days.

i was on it this afternoon for about an hour with only scrap to show for it.
got a signal that i thought was more lead.
dug out some soil(muddy soil at that) and saw the edge of a gold coin.got my camera out and took these.

its a GEORGE 111 spade guinea 1788.
to say i'm a happy camper would be a slight understatement

Nice one Shaun, Ethan and I brought a metal detector and found a coin with the first beep about 2 inches down, we were so happy, Sharon didnt understand our joy as it was only a new penny

we are getting lots of non ferrous signals in the same place but they are deep and the holes were getting fooking deep so filled them in and will go back with somthing bigger than a spoon.
