Was out detecting with my friend and mentor TonyAz today in my new favorite lot in the whole world.....I had the Deus just fired up and got a bad tone and good one mixed, VDI said 51, dug about 6" down found a rusty nut, put it in my bag (Taught and practice carry it out!), rescan the hole and I get only good tone , and find a coin covered in dry dirt, look at it and see the Mexican eagle it seems on one side and what looks like a face on other, BAM got me a peso with 18xx date......I go to show Tony while blowing off some dirt and then see a shield on an eagle, bigger BAM it ain't no peso, it's a dang shield nickle, which is cool cause I never had one of those, I hand it to Tony and declare my shield nickle find.....Well Tony looks at it, then me then tells me how dang stupid I am and blind as a bat! (not really, he said that is no nickle it looks like a gold coin, but to my ears I heard the former...LOL),
WHAT?
Sure as heck, my Deus found me a $5 gold coin today, a find of a lifetime!! I have not cleaned (nor will I) and it turns out to be a key date! 1886s and in great great shape!
WOW
