Hi My Fellow TH'ers
Well You asked for it so here is my Best Find to date, it is an 1854 Type I US One Dollar Gold Dollar. I attached a picture of it for your enjoyment! This was found with my Whites XLT at a depth of 9.5 inches. It registered as a Cent/Dime and bleeped on the screen for just a second then was gone. It showed up just long enough to light up the screen and then was gone. I went over the spot five times before I decided to dig it out and man did that make my day!
Happy TH'ing one and all

Way to go CSA. Nothing like finding the gold. When it falls out of the dirt, you dont have to wonder what it is.
