I was wondering....

Hi All,

You metal detector folks, have you ever found any gold pieces? I would think that a find like that would be a highlight of your metal detecting lifetimes.

I just love reading about the stuff that you guys find. Jim C must be the master of all metal detecting experts. I had a detector when I was a child but didn't do much with it. I now have a little boy that I hope to introduce to the hobby.

I have not but I know a couple of guys that have. I found a very nice men's gold wedding ring. Does that count?

 

That would be pretty cool!

 

there was a member on this forum not long ago who posted a coin he found that was gold. i cant find the link now however. It was a pretty cool looking one to.

 

Nope, I have never found a gold coin--but that dosen't mean that I have given up.
I'm still trying.
I have found quite a few silver coins, including one silver dollar, and one high grade Barber half dollar.
Plus quite a few pieces of gold jewelry.
(rings, chains, bracelets, etc.)

 

I'm just getting started, having gotten a garrett for Christmas. As soon as the ground defrosts her in Neb, I'll start with the back yard, then the front, then the nearest park, then etc.

 

Still looking for one. They are out there. Few and far between. Ya never know though. Could be in the next hole dug. Thats the fun of detecting. Ya never know whats gonna be in the next hole.
I did just send a few gold rings I found over the years, in for melt value. I have made a lot of great finds but never a gold coin. Won't give up til I drop over. Jim

 

Metal detecting is one of the best hobbies next to coin correcting. You never know what you will find and that keep me going. I have never found a gold coin but I have found enough money to buy a Whitemen detector.

 

Whiteman?
Is that a new brand?
I never heard of them.
