    I know nothing about Spanish coins, but I've got to say "Huzzah!" to any metal detecting find that is that pretty.

    How are French laws of ownership though? Unless you owned the field you were detecting in, the ownership of that coin is kinda iffy.

    Wow, great find.

    I've detected for years, and no gold coin yet.
