1909 King Edward VII Half Soveriegn Gold London Mint Mark
Found this coin in the water where a resort used to be at the turn of the past century. It's my first gold coin. It was a beautiful day to go water detecting. I was there for about an hour and found several other coins but the only other oldies were a couple of wheats. Looking forward to hitting that place again when I have more time. :drool:

Hi JK! It was in 4 feet of water. I got it on the first try with my long handled scoop. It was about 6 inches down.

Re: 1909 King Edward VII Half Soveriegn Gold London Mint Mark
Hey Reese, I'm really happy for you. I found like a part of me found that coin after all the conversations we've had online! LOL
Really good job. So, I imagine it was with the AT Pro (I don't think you want another E-Trac Water fiasco? >:tongue:
So, how much is that coin worth (and I know you won't sell it) because it's always nice to say I paid for my detector with that coin!
Beautiful coin,
Albert

Thanks Albert. I found it with my Excalibur II. I felt like you there were on my shoulders the whole time while hunting that lake. ;) It's probably worth no more that it's 22K gold value so no it didn't pay for the detector. :thinkingabout:
Re: 1909 King Edward VII Half Soveriegn Gold London Mint Mark
