I went for out half day today.
Half way into the hunt I got a high tone and dug.
About 4" down I saw something gold colored, small, coin looking, covered with wet dirt. OMG!!!! I started to cr_p my pants.
It was a gold coin I thought. Just like the one I just saw posted on the forums this morning... "1856 gold coin". All I could see was an eagle of some sort. My eyes are bad. I turn off my machine cuz I don't want to be bothered due to this find.
I wipe some of the mud off, I see eagle with snake in it's mouth and some Spanish writing. It's okay I thought... Spanish or English, who cares, It's gold.
I turn the coin around. It's dated 1985 and says $20. I think, this is okay for at least it's a twenty dollar gold coin. And plus the weight and all? Still thinking ka-ching, ka-ching.
I pull out my cellphone. I google it. It's Mexican 20 pesos. It's worth less than a US dollar. I become deflated.
Man O Man!!! This hobby can give you a heart attack, and all for naught.
But all-in-all, I got 11 wheaties, a beautiful 1941 Merc and a ring of which I know nothing about. No markings. Probably copper.
Anyways, thanks again for looking.
