Out to an old park I have hunted a lot and done well at. Today started off as clad day getting around 40 mixed coins. Then hit the area surrounding a basketball court that I have never done before. loaded with trash and I was using the Vanquish with 12" coil so it was tough hunting. Got a 25-26 signal and 8" down is a nice 925 marked crucifix. Getting late in the day so heading back to the truck get a jumpy 25-30 signal. In the plug I pull out three dimes and a quarter, rescan and get another signal in the side wall. Using my hand digger I flick out a clump and I see a gold coin. My heart skips a beat as it's bright gold and smaller than a clad $1 coin. Forgot my reading glasses so just pulled it, put it in my finds case and headed home without cleaning off all the dirt.
Unfortunately it was just a gold plated Virginia quarter. But, the thrill of seeing gold in dirt and the finding the old silver crucifix are what makes me go out there. GL and HH everyone!
