    That’s a beautiful coin! I saw a similar condition one pulled out of a Boy Scout camp my md club detected last year. And I’ll bet at least 50 people detected that 2 acre mowed parade field on at least 3 occasions (including me) before someone dug it up. When I dug mine last week it was a 90 vdi on my White’s V3i which is usually a big hunk of crap so congrats on that find !

    A huge thanks! (pun also intended). I'm sure I'll need plenty of luck before I see the gold one. But you never know, right!

    Thanks John! I sure didn't want to go to work after finding that!

    Thanks Mike! Believe me, after 11 years of digging "silver dollar" signals, and never finding one, this was the last thing that I was expecting to see roll out of the plug! A pleasant surprise for sure!
