They say every dog has his (or her day).

The dive started like any other shallow water dive in Monterey Bay. Fishing weight after fishing weight after brass cartridge blah blah blah. Towards the end of the dive with one sweep of the hand...

It took me 3 years but I finally got a gold coin.

Holy cr#p, a gold coin here ? Not even any storm erosion on our beaches? You have achieved the "holy grail" hole-in-one that every md'r wants: A gold coin. Congratz dude !
 
Never seen a gold coin from water posted on this forum... Awesome! Around 1910 losing that coin was like losing $300 today. Pretty ridiculous
 
Getting what Tom , Kob, & Compass can't get :jawdrop::lookclose::thumbsup:

Not to steal the thunder of this guy's EPIC gold find Surfmaster.... but most hardcore hunters on the Westcoast have ALL found a gold coin.....🏴!☠️
 
Three years for what most don't find in a lifetime on land, sand or in water that is a super achievement! A great payoff for your hard work and dedication. Congratulations Sir!

Hahaha ! So true. Guess I never manned up and put Scuba gear on either. And at this stage , don't want nor need to. Spent many a years in my youth freediving and spearfishing. Until one of my friends drowned doing just that , so I never did that again. Just surfed. I can't think of anyone I know here who dives while detecting. So it is a well accomplished feat.

WOW! That is an unbelievable find for the Monterey Bay! That coin is in unremarkable condition. TRULY UNBELIEVABLE!
