For me,
is this 1930 Puma coin that I found 2008 at this corner
near the stonewall down this field with my Wildcat in
aprox. 3 inches depht.
The coin didn't sink much that much in more than 70 years !
- and it is a fine black ground.

Mine, hidden with a nickle hit and dug down more, happy I re-scaned the hole dug this one deeper down..

It seems that I have posted this coin a few times but since I know that I will NEVER find another gold coin here it is again. Found in 2008 with my Bounty Hunter in a sanded exrecise pit that's part of a vita course at a local park - an 1876 Otto-Turkish Empire 100 Kurus gold coin.

Amazing gold turkish coin! Wow!

Turk coin

The Turk coin is beautiful.

Is the Turkish coin in commemoration of a historic event or did they use a different calendar than the Gregorian? I ask this as the numerals ١٢٩٣ appear to denote 1293.

Cheers

I was told at the time when it was identified that 1293 from the Arabic calendar corresponded to 1876 for the West.

Thanks, I thought it might be something like that but I wanted to ask anyway.

This is the nicest coin I ever dug. It is also my first Barber coin. I have about 20 dug Barbers now, but this one is the prettiest.
