Thanks for keeping this thread alive!...
Not a easy coin to top....Edit-The mint mark is S. But I have not even done a search on value-I am not selling.
Just glad I got it and it is in a safe place. And I also have a $5.00 gold piece from my Mother that has a ding on the side.
Now I have one for each of my daughters. And I told them if they ever sold them my ghost would give them a very hard time.
I have hit the area it came from very hard. But last visit I pulled 2 deep old bullet casings about 3 feet from where the coin was-so there may be another one in hiding. I can dream
.
But there is a problem as of late. My partner is my faithful old doggie. Part German Sheppard & her hips are giving out. So she lays in the shade & waits for me to find something snack worthy. Well I have a leash on but I don't hold it. I've done this as long as I have hunted there-no problem. Well I guess A new kid is on the block & he cares a great deal about leash laws.
So I made a long leash for doggie. She hates it. Being a smart doggie she refuses to get out of the bus at that park now....
Oh well-I do some short trips solo but I really feel bad not having her with me.
So I've been hitting more doggie friendly parks.
These coins have been there a very long time. And I only have so much time left with my friend. Many other parks indeed & I've gotten 4 gold rings this year already. I'm only posting the wowza's...
I have done very well with my new to me Explorer XS and still refuse to do anything but tone hunt. It just works best for me...And not a paid statement-but every one of my other detectors has gathered dust since I got it.
Thanks!
